You can believe that Pelosi and the whole American public underwent a radical transformation from moral normality to complicity with war criminality back to normality. Or you can believe that their personalities and moral compasses have remained steady throughout the years, but changes in circumstances (threat, knowledge, imminence) alter the moral calculus attached to any interrogation technique.

No I believe a different scenario. I believe that Pelosi is playing politics. She is using the moral issue of torture to attack the former administration for political advantage.

The people have short memories. Pelosi knows this and the Left Wing press is her willing accomplice most of the time.

She is trying to play politics as usual, but she is in way over her botoxed head on this one. This one is NOT politics as usual. In essence, she is saying that in a matter of grave national security, the CIA lied to her. If true, people MUST go to jail. If false, she MUST step down.
