Pelosi: Bush briefers lied to me
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Bush administration told her explicitly they weren’t using waterboarding on terror detainees during a Sept. 2002 briefing on interrogation tactics — months after they had begun waterboarding Abu Zabaydah.
Pelosi also called on CIA director Leon Panetta to release full details on her briefing — and shook her head in the affirmative when asked if the administration had actually “lied” to her.
“The only mention of waterboarding in the briefing was that it was not being employed,” she told reporters, reading from a prepared statement — twice for emphasis.
The intelligence briefers gave Pelosi, she said, “inaccurate and incomplete information.”
“Perhaps they should release the briefing— I would be very happy if they released the briefing,” Pelosi added.

A guest on the Glenn Beck show has filed a FOIA to get transcripts of EVERYTHING that took place and was said by Pelosi during these briefings. Don’t remember guest’s name or his affiliation.
