TORTURER
As Rush said earlier, “Dick Cheney gets results”.
And why won’t their base let them?
Republicans can’t “demand” to investigate Pelosi, so why is this story about her getting coverage? It has to be because the White House wants it to. -Rush
It appears there are more democrat hands in the pie than Bush officials.
Steny Hoyer is about the only Dem right now with a smile on his face.
He’s got a good chance at that gavel, and a lot of support from his party to take it.
fyi
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When we aim to deceive!
This is almost, almost as much fun as watching Pakistan melt down.
Drip, drip, drip. Nance isn’t the only one, either. The Dems’ public line was that we got into the war through misrepresentation and haste but the documentation says otherwise. Pass the popcorn...
Post Politics: Waterboarding, Cheney, Detainee Photos, More
********************************EXCERPTS***************************
Pelosi Question: When is the Washington Post doing on investigating what Pelosi knew about waterboarding and when? She seems to say one thing and her aides and CIA seem to say another. Sounds fishy one way or another. I would just like to know what the answer is. Who is right?
Lois Romano: I dont know who's right- but I'm sure various news organizationns are looking into what she knew and when she knew it.
****************************snip****************************
Pelosi?: Why is Pelosi so much more guilty for knowing about torture than the Bush Administration is about administering it?
Lois Romano: Its not guilt or innocence. Its accountability. If she opposed it, and she knew about it, one could ask why congress did nothing to try and thwart it. Even if it was a classified briefing, congress could have help up funding. Thats where its power is.
*************************************snip****************************
Pelosi: Forgive me for being obtuse, but I can't seem to understand how the alleged knowledge Pelosi may have had regarding waterboarding lets any Republicans off the hook.
Seriously, conservatives have now adopted the "strategy of the switch." What better way to shift focus from torture being approved by President Bush than by claiming somehow Pelosi knew too, as if she had any say in the matter.
Really, is this what the Republican party has been reduced to?
Lois Romano: It doesn't let anyone "off the hook." But, the question being asked is, if Pelosi knew and opposed the t6actic, why didn't she try to stop it. While she did not have line authority to stop it, she did have some influence over the budgetary process that funds it.

The Democrats cut and run from anything the requires brains, morals, patriotism and courage.
