“The record is now established that, at the least, Pelosi failed to object to waterboarding when it was going on, and that, at the most, she gave the practice her explicit blessing.”
“Conspiracy to commit torture”, anyone?

Yea they gotta throw Crazy Nan under the bus now, don’t they?
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving Liberal witch. Throwing the CIA under the bus isn’t wise, IMO.
It really had to hurt for the NY Daily News to print this. I can almost picture this editorial writer with tears flowing down his face as Zuckerman sat next to him and threatened to take his autographed Obama poster off the wall if he didn’t do it.
In truth the Daily News is not in the same mudpuddle as the Times when it comes to incessant Obama ass-kissing and if it would just jetison that little creep Mike Lupica and a few others, it would be almost readable.
That was my first thought, too.
Today, I've seen this story covered in all sorts of brand name MSM outlets, and they don't seem to be pulling many punches, or jumping to her defense.
Given the tone of the leftmedia about Nancy PantsOnFire's lies to the public about this, it's a good bet that she'll soon be out of a job at the Capitol.
Good editorial.
Nice compact statement of apparent facts....much needed
Ms. Pelosi is twisting in the wind!!
Ms. Pelosi is twisting in the wind!!
It is indeed big news that they hit Pelosi so hard on this.
On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intelligence Committee chairman, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committee’s ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. They were the first members of Congress to be informed.
So, who was the director of the CIA, from 9/11 to 2004?
George J. Tenet was the Director of CIA, from 1997–2004 .
Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet then became the CIA director in August of 1997.
So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to Nancy.
