"Pelosi said she learned later from other members of Congress about the CIA use of waterboarding. "I wasn't briefed. I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it," she said."

No doubt this onset of dementia is the first signs Dear Speaker is suffering from A.B.B. (Advanced Botox Brain)

I wonder if it is possible she was fully briefed on the “enhanced interrogation techniques”, but that they never actually used the term “waterboarding” in the part of the briefing where she was told that the EITs were being used, even though water boarding is one of the EITs we used.

Waterboarding wasn’t the worst of the offenses the Democrats have charged, so it seems odd that she specifically says “well, I wasn’t told that WATER BOARDING was used”.

Of course, since she already has been caught dead-to-rights in two lies (first saying she didn’t know we had approved any EITs, then after that was proven false she said she thought it was theoretical and she was never told we had USED any EITs, and then we found that she had been briefed on use of EITs), I don’t know that sticking to a contorted version of the truth is a concern of hers.

I think she knows that if she keeps changing her story, eventually the press will be able to say her story holds up, and that will be that. The press certainly won’t hold her to any standard of factualness. And in fact if she eventually says the opposite of everything she previously said, the press will congratulate her for the new openness and criticize those who attack her for lying.

It wasn't Pelosi's fault!

When she asked if the techniques were going far enough, she thought they were talking about a demonstration for the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. (She attends EVERY year.)

For samples of what she (or anyone else) sees there click below. Makes waterboarding seem like clean fun. (For adult viewing only.)

Looking thru the Pelosi keyword list....came across this:

EDITORIAL: Pelosi's Amnesia ( Either that or she slept through CIA briefings )

***************************************EXCERPT INTRO*******************************

Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | May. 09, 2009 | staff

Posted on Sun 10 May 2009 05:58:39 AM PDT by kellynla

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been a leading critic of the Bush administration for authorizing the "torture" (waterboarding) of three captured al-Qaida leaders, despite the fact that former Vice President Dick Cheney says the interrogation methods yielded valuable information from men who had not previously been forthcoming, leading the terrorists to spill the beans on planned attacks that could have killed thousands more Americans.

Now it appears Ms. Pelosi knew all about the methods being used, and raised not a peep of objection. Unless she wants to argue she was dozing during CIA briefings.

Congressional leaders were briefed dozens of times on the CIA's use of severe interrogation methods on al-Qaida suspects, according to new information released by the Obama administration Thursday.

A chart compiled by the CIA shows that Ms. Pelosi, D-Calif., was briefed on Sept. 4, 2002, on the agency's interrogation of alleged al-Qaida operative Abu Zubaydah, and that the session covered "the particular (enhanced interrogation techniques) that had been employed."

As recently as a week ago, Ms. Pelosi contended, "We were not -- I repeat were not -- told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used."

Brendan Daly, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, said Thursday that "the briefers described these techniques, said they were legal, but said that waterboarding had not been used."

Somebody needs to put together a video montage of Pelosi's progression of excuses (lies) over the last couple of weeks.

Hannity? O'Reilly? Beck? Anybody? Bueller?
