Does Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi think the American people are stupid or is she just A LYING HYPOCRITE?
It is now all but obvious that Pelosi not only knew about the enhanced interrogation techniques being used by U.S. intelligence officials on terrorist detainees in the aftermath of 9-11
but Pelosi seemingly condoned the harsh interrogations as far back as 2002.
As first reported by The Washington Post back in December 2007, a group of lawmakers, including Pelosi, was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk."
Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding. no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.
In the same Post article, one U.S. official present during the early briefings stated:
"[T]here was no objecting, no hand-wringing. The attitude was, 'We don't care what you do to those guys as long as you get the information you need to protect the American people.' "
Yet Pelosi who is now second in the Presidential line of succession continues to try to weasel her way out of public scrutiny as SHE PUTS POLITICS AHEAD OF OUR NATIONS SECURITY.
As she ramps up calls to investigate, prosecute and even jail Bush Justice Department officials and U.S. intelligence agents who were following orders and working to prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Pelosi has the audacity to look the American people in the eye and seemingly lie about what she knew and when she knew it.
Back in April of 2007, Pelosi accused then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales of lying and demanded his RESIGNATION.
