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

[tobyhill]

She must be calling her aide a liar too because they briefed her.

Levin should be wonderful tonight...

When you've dug yourself into a hole, you're suppose to stop digging.

Stop helping her.

[cranked]

Panetta can NOT shut down ‘leaks’ and be assured, ‘leaks’ over what Pelosi knew and when will continue to come forth.

She is doo0med to being exposed for the skank she is.

[TheThinker]

Pelosi's trying to say that as a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee that others were briefed about waterboarding but not her.

Did you see her try to obfuscate with "we elected a new president to stop torture" and she even had one of her lapdogs in the press ask about free healthcare?

Dare I say that she's toast?

[ladyvet]

She said WHAT?!!!

[Chad_the_Impaler]

I think Obama wants her out.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Obey is closer to Detroit than Nancy is.

Get ready for the, “I want to spend more time with my family” excuse as she departs congress.

Pelosi claims she was lied to about waterboarding

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Thursday said the CIA lied to her about waterboarding and compared it to the Bush administration handling of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

She said that in a September 2002 briefing she was specifically told waterboarding was not being used on detainees. Wasterboarding of a terrorism suspect had begun in August.

They say she received briefings from intelligence officials in September 2002 on techniques used against terrorism suspects like Abu Zubaydah, who was waterboarded. CIA documents released at the request of congressional Republicans show that one of her aides was briefed specifically on waterboarding in February 2003.

Pelosi maintains that she was never told detainees were being waterboarded, even though the practice began in August 2002. She has said she concurred in a protest after the 2003 briefing, but the practice continued for at least a month afterward.

Democrats also stress that they passed legislation in the House banning torture shortly after they took control of Congress in 2007.

Republicans turned up the heat Wednesday when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- S.C.) threatened to try to call Pelosi as a witness in the Senate investigation of the interrogation program.

In past shows Michael Savage mentioned her father was a big time Mafioso in Baltimore. She’s a dirty as a call girl on payday.

[kalee]

So much plastic it would melt.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I think her own party in the house and senate is going to turn on her

Now that would be a real-popcorn fest but I'm not so sure it will happen. Pelosi will try to take down others with her. Schumer, Rockefeller, Murtha, McCain are all sweating this one out.

[silverleaf]

ah, Jane Harman- who already has bus marks on her back, thanks to Red Nancy

This only gets better

Now, any comments yet from the Senate? Anyone heard from Jay Rockefeller in, oh, months?

[Aria]

Oh boy....I wouldn’t want to be in fight with the CIA....

I’m thinking that pretty soon we won’t have to pay for this witch to fly home every weekend...I HOPE!

[FourPeas]

D’ya suppose she can dig her grave deep enough that she isn't dug up and chewed on?

[DakotaRed]

Bob Beckle is currently defending Pelosi and agreeing with her on Fox.

[Joiseydude]

Beckels head is spinning round and round on FNC.

[Carley]
