[Nancy Pelosi is accusing the C.I.A. of misleading the Congress. . .]

Al Qaeda’s wisest move on Sept. 11 was to leave Congress intact.

<Even if the CIA was lying(Which I’m sure they’re not),I’m fairly sure they have the ability to make it look like they aren’t.

Good point. I wouldn’t put it past the CIA to lie, but you’re right. They could certainly make it look like they aren’t lying. And if they are lying - I wouldn’t want to be the one calling them out on it.

Go Nancy, maybe this will be enough to get your a$$ replaced as Speaker.

OK, now it is beginning to make sense. She is accusing the CIA, but her real target is Obama's justice department who is fighting for the release of the photos. Pelosi wants to shut down this whole issue and is willing to blame the CIA, but the administration knows that if a "Truth Commission" is put into action, Obama's ploy to vote, "present", just isn't going to hold up to the light of day.

Here is part of an article that is on NRO, today, about Holder and his role in this.

Is there any more important context crying out for transparency than a Justice Department misstep that could have cost American lives?

This misstep, it is worth remembering, does not occur in a vacuum. President Obama has stocked his Justice Department with lawyers who have spent (or whose firms have spent) the last eight years volunteering their services to America’s enemies. This includes Attorney General Holder himself, whose former firm’s website continues to brag about representing 18 alien enemy combatants and about attacking the validity of the Bush-era military commissions. (Those would be the same commissions that President Obama suddenly decided aren’t so bad after all, according to the administration’s most recent Friday Night Bad News Dump.)

It can be no coincidence that, with this DOJ team in place, we’ve already seen: the premature announcement of the closure of Guantánamo Bay, when there was clearly no plan for what to do about the detainees; the outright release of Binyam Mohammed, who plotted with “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla to attack American cities; the purging of the terms “enemy combatant” and “war”; the release of the CIA memos over the strenuous objection of the intelligence community, and in a shamefully dishonest manner that revealed interrogation tactics but suppressed from public view the life-saving information the tactics yielded; the announcement of an investigation of Bush-administration lawyers and the leaking of information from the related ethics probe; AG Holder’s under-the-radar suggestion that he’d cooperate with Spain’s investigation of Bush administration officials; the sweetheart plea deal for Ali al-Marri (a terrorist who, like Binyam Mohammed, was planning to conduct a post-9/11 second wave of mass-murder attacks in the U.S.); the plan to release trained terrorists in the U.S. in violation of federal immigration law (to say nothing of common sense); and, now, the decision to release the prisoner-abuse photos that the president, thankfully, has rescinded. That’s quite a track record in just a hundred days. There is palpable ground for concern that DOJ decisions are not being made with the best interests of American national security in mind.

Will Attorney General Holder release the Justice Department memos that led to his inexplicable decision to publicize photos President Obama concedes would have endangered our troops? If Holder won’t voluntarily disclose them, will Congress demand that he do so? After all, though some say it’s time to look forward, not back, today’s Democrats are quick to point out that all of us — other than Nancy Pelosi — must come clean and learn from the mistakes of history if we are to avoid repeating them.

Or is this one truth that Pat Leahy would just as soon not have a commission over?

They’re saying that Bob Graham says the CIA ‘made up’ 2 of his briefings...so that explains everything. Voila.

Nancy is petulant and vindictive (nuts?), has not made any friends in the House even among her own kind

Maybe zerO needs a better, more “bipartisan” House Majority Speaker to get his abominable agenda passed quickly, and with at least some token GOP support for cover and future blame casting. Hoyer may be a lot better at charming and arm twisting on behalf of his messiah

Not too fast - with that partisan hack Panetta at CIA, don’t be surprised if those ‘freshly-scrubbed’ briefing details exonerate her.

Because Obama hates white women.

this “truth commission” could really help us in the 2010 elections. I do not see how this is any kind of a win for democrats. I say bring it.

Good point. Personally, I don't think Nancy's demise is in our best interest. A lot of democrats don't like her and she's publicly breaking under the stress. She's a wonderful reason why voters should vote republican in 2010. Obama knows it too. He needs a reliable Speaker in there who will push for his agenda and look like Santa Claus when doing it. Steny Hoyer dresses and cleans up a lot better than Pelosi. Remember, it's about appearance.

Plus, Nancy's demise will spook a lot of dems. They see Obama's intimidation tactics, although they thought he'd be a pussy cat as president. Most of them are dirty, with the laundry to show for it. Bringing Nancy down is a wonderful way for Obama to get all the cooperation he needs. See, he really did bring a different tone to Washington, didn't he? No more bickering!
