Lie Exposed: Pelosi’s Power, Oversight and Control of the CIA Two months after being briefed on Waterboarding. Nancy Pelosi in her own words allocating money, admitting her oversight role, and saying the interrogation community deserves our appreciation.

Apparently Pelosi and the RATS overestimated their power to cover up their lies, for once.

Democrats do not hold that truth is essential, so they lie as they see fit ... it isn't lying, to a democrat or democrat voter, so long as it serves to oppose the pernicious conservatives and their agenda to conform the US to truth and justice and Life for the now-being-slaughtered alive unborn.

A political party (read DNC) that chose decades ago to use/support/defend abortion slaughter as a means to empower their political capital has no moral foundation you or I would recognize, and they sure as heck will do anything to further their empowerment.

"The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history,"

. . . but did she mention WATERBOARDING during this video? She is not denying that she had oversight. She is claiming now that she was not told about waterboarding.

I will view the video tonight from home.

Great. Another video from NakedEmperorNews, a source that posted puffed-up videos before the election that ended up doing more harm than good.

Approach with great caution.

Democrats do not hold that truth is essential, so they lie as they see fit ... it isn't lying, to a democrat or democrat voter, so long as it serves to oppose the pernicious conservatives and their agenda...

It is permissible to lie in Islam - I know it's hard to grasp. If you do find it difficult, it's because you have been brought up in a Christian-influenced country probably...

"For the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,but the upright are in his confidence." (Proverbs 3:32)

"No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house;no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes." (Ps. 101:7)

What is Taqqiyah?

The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be "Dissimulation." But it may be clearer to call it lying. Taqiyyah is uttering with the tongue what one does not believe in the heart. Many Sunnis deny that it is an Islamic practice, but Shi’ites dispute this by arguing that it is integral to Islam.

( ... )

But it is not certain that Taqiyyah is merely a Shi’i practice. Ibn Taymiyyah, a Sunni scholar, did not reject the practice out of hand. He merely introduced two conditions: Taqiyyah can only be done to an unbeliever. And that, while practising Taqiyyah, one cannot tell a lie. In other words, the dissimulator can only remain silent.

There are many theological wrangles about when dissimulation is allowed but what seems clear is that the Qur’an itself opens the door to muslims to conceal their true beliefs. For example:

Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty. [Yusufali 16:106]

That's just a long winded description of their favorite word: Pragmatism.

I’m sorry, I watched the video and do not see any part of it that supports the thread headline.

While I believe she indeed did know, IMHO this video doesn’t prove it. Wish it did.

"It didn't happen" won't work because Pelosi was among those Democrats who proclaimed the most loudly that it did. She is now at "I wasn't there" and "I didn't know," and the next step is "I was only following orders"--hard to contend when you're Speaker of the House.
