House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday accused the CIA of misleading Congress about its use of enhanced interrogation techniques 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 said. Under a barrage of questioning, Pelosi adamantly insisted that she was not aware that waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation techniques were being used on terrorism suspects. "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.

Deer in the headlights.
This shall not end well for her....
As Rush said earlier, “Dick Cheney gets results.”
I’m melting! MELTING!
Oh, she’s screwed. They probably have tapes of the meeting or even video tapes of her nodding her head and agreeing with everything that was said. You don’t accuse the CIA of lying and get away with it.
Oh boy is she in trouble.
She pissed off all the wrong people.
“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 said.”
Nancy doubles down.
Didn’t the 9/11 commission find that W didn’t politicize intelligence?
I hope Dick Cheney turns his fire on Nancy.
You want the truth, Nancy? You can’t handle the truth!
So if they're easily duped by a moron, how smart are they?
Hey Pelosi, Shut up, you marble-mouthed bitch. They have you dead to rights on this one, and there’s no way you can back out. Typical of her to play dumb on this. The whole lot of them think they are infallible, and when caught with their hands in the cookie jar.....they revert to the children that they are. Hopefully this will pave the way for a landslide re-taking of the House and Senate by CONSERVATIVE, not RINO republicans. Enough is enough.
Choking on her own hurl?
‘’I’m melting...’’
The witch shrivels when the truth shines on her.
satan always overplays her hand
The CIA makes a dangerous friend, but a fearsome enemy.

The BoTox has totally destroyed this woman’s brain cells...the LAST thing you would ever do if you’ve got any sense is try to take on the CIA....pass the popcorn this is going to be entertaining!!!!! (I want this beeatch destroyed!)
