Pelosi Accuses CIA of 'Misleading' Congress on Waterboarding

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.

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.

“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!

I always liked this one. One the one hand the libdemholes insist Bush is a moron. On the otherhand they say he "mislead" them, or duped them into doing whatever....

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.

The CIA makes a dangerous friend, but a fearsome enemy.

She is a despicable liar. And not just about the interrogation of the terrorists whose comfort so engages the Democrats. She is making a mistake to bring up WMD. On December 16, 1998 she herself claimed “Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
