Nancy Pelosi is accusing the C.I.A. of misleading the Congress regarding "waterboarding."

[silverleaf]

she meant to say she was busy fighting AGAINST the people who were fighting the war in Iraq...

[SE Mom]

Katherine Herridge reporting the CIA says they stand by their record.

This is going to get ugly fast.

[CheneyChick]

Did you hear her say she was fighting the war in Iraq at the time? I THOUGHT i heard that, but I can only tolerate her a few lies at a time.

Yes, she said that. That got a big laugh out of me. I really need a photoshopped picture of her with a kevlar, body armor and M4....

[silverleaf]

when will this be on youtube!

[null and void]

Popcorn?

I made plenty...

[Kimberly GG]

I like what she said about the information “gap” and the idea that Pelosi should release HER records!

[GOPsterinMA]

Jay Sekulow - Director of the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice). Good guy doing good work!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

She’s scared. The press came close to turning on her and she is not used to that. :-)

[Kimberly GG]

“To the contrary ... we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used,”

FIRST we’ve heard this! Ha! All along she’s been saying she was just told it was an option...now she’s saying she was told EXPLICITLY that it was NOT being used!

And comparing being “lied to” to Bush’s “lie” about WMDs in Iraq. aghhh.

[silverleaf]

Just photoshop her head on Michael Dukakis’ famous tank photo

“Give em hell Nancy” rolls through Iraq

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Thank you. May I have some? ;-)

[crz]

When ones enemy is falling apart you need not get involved. In short, wait till the house is nearly felled and then go in and finish the job-which in this case will be the 2010 elections. This s@&*t will make for real good campaign adds.

[wombtotomb]

I wonder if any brave freepers have floated over to DU to see how they are doing? Poor things LOL

[kellynla]

Limbaugh is talking about this now.

[null and void]

Absolutely! Try some with a little ranch dressing powder sprinkled on...

[Abathar]

Steny Hoyer is happy as a pig in slop, he knows there is a good chance he will get her gavel over this.

Pelosi Accuses CIA of Misleading Congress on Waterboarding

At a weekly news conference Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi repeated her assertion that she was only briefed once on the interrogation methods seven years ago and accused the CIA of misleading Congress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday accused the CIA of misleading Congress about its use of enhanced interrogation techniques used on terror detainees.

“Yes I am saying the CIA was misleading the Congress and at the same time the (Bush) administration was misleading the Congress on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, to which I said that this intelligence doesn’t support the imminent threat,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference.

“Every step of the way the administration was misleading the Congress and that is the issue and that’s why we need a truth commission,” she added.

Under a barrage of questioning, Pelosi also again adamantly insisted that she was not aware that waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation techniques were being used on terrorism suspects and

“I am telling you they told me they approved these and said they wanted to use them but said they were not using waterboarding,” she said.

Growing increasingly frustrated throughout the briefing, Pelosi slowly started backing away from the podium as she tried to end the questioning. As she backed out, she continued to accuse the CIA of not telling Congress that dissenting opinions had been filed within the administration suggesting the methods were not lawful.

The CIA immediately disputed Pelosi’s accusation, saying the documents describing the particular enhanced interrogation techniques that had been employed is accurate.

Pelosi said she was only briefed once on the interrogation methods in September 2002 and acknowledged that her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, informed her about another briefing five months later in which Bush officials said waterboarding was being used on CIA terror detainee Abu Zubaydah.

Pelosi said she supported a letter drafted by Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee who also attended the briefing in February 2003, and sent to the Bush administration, raising concerns over the technique.

Pelosi’s account has changed several times in recent weeks as she has sought to clarify what she did or didn’t know about these interrogation methods that she is pushing to investigate.
