Let us hurl the same simplistic charge at her that the left hurls at everybody else in similar situations: why did she not object at the time? why did she not tell them to stop? why did she not oppose them? does this mean that she morally approves what they did? what kind of a vile, anti-democratic creature is this woman...?

CIA...lists 40 briefings for members of Congress from September 2002 to March 2009. The first briefing on the list -- on September 4, 2002 -- was for then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Porter Goss and [Nancy] Pelosi, then the ranking Democrat on the committee.
The subject of the briefing is listed as EITs, or enhanced interrogation techniques, "including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed..."
a CIA spokesman said, "Great care was taken with the list not to go beyond what the records themselves say..."
Whether Pelosi knew that waterboarding had been used or was told only it had been approved for use, she did not raise any objection at the time about the technique... |

I haven't read anything of this thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating anything that anyone else has said.
BUT...I think she WOULD go down, if HOLDER does indeed go through with the Tortue Probe.
BUT...it also sounds like Obama has ZERO interest in looking at the past, and only wants to focus on the here and now and future.
I'd personally agree with Obama, time to leave this partisan politics of the last twenty years behind us. |
