Is it:

pelousi said:
“we were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”

Or is it:


“Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed.”

She knew about it before she had no idea.

She is a lying war criminal!!

At a press conference yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denied claims that she and other Democrat leaders were informed of any of the advanced interrogation methods that were in use, such as waterboarding. Pelosi stated emphatically, “We were not -- I repeat -- were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”

Yet the Washington Post in December of 2007 reported on a first-hand virtual tour of CIA overseas detentions sites given to Pelosi, then the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, and other members of Congress, that included graphic instruction on waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques.


:shrug:

Relax, Cerise. This is just more SOP from the Democrat leadership. They know that Liberals love to be lied to and that they will make any and every excuse for her while she sits back and laughs at them.

CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of 'Enhanced Interrogations'

Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used.

In a 10-page memo outlining an almost seven-year history of classified briefings, intelligence officials said that Pelosi and then-Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.) were the first two members of Congress ever briefed on the interrogation tactics. Then the ranking member and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, respectively, Pelosi and Goss were briefed Sept. 4, 2002, one week before the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The issue of what Pelosi knew and when she knew it has become a matter of heated debate on Capitol Hill. Republicans have accused her of knowing for many years precisely the techniques CIA agents were using in interrogations, and only protesting the tactics when they became public and liberal antiwar activists protested.

A leaked memo, you say??

We must have hearings!!

Doesn't matter what we think of her. She is the Speaker of the House (3rd in line to the President) & a representative of the people which means she needs to be held to a higher standard.

OMG, and I suppose the Cheney-Bush white house never lied? Mr. Newt Gingrich, well it's obvious he only tells the truth! Show me any administration that doesn't lie and I'll show you fantasy land! I'm not saying it is good, but it damn sure is reality.

Oh. Wait. That's right. When I said “We were not -- I repeat -- were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.” I forgot that we WERE TOLD -- I repeat --WERE TOLD about these methods but I thought they were legal. Silly me. I'm so forgetful now that I'm three heartbeats away from the presidency.

Pelosi: I Was Told Interrogation Methods Were Lawful

The House speaker's statement came after CIA records showed Pelosi was briefed in September 2002 on the interrogation methods and appeared to contradict her claim last month that she was never told that waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation techniques were being used.


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted Friday that she was briefed only once (As opposed to “We were not -- I repeat -- were not ...") about the "enhanced" interrogation techniques being used on terrorism suspects and that she was assured by lawyers with the CIA and the Department of Justice that the methods were legal.

Pelosi issued a statement after CIA records released this week showed that Pelosi was briefed in September 2002 on the interrogation methods. The briefings memo appeared to contradict the speaker's claims that she was never told that waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation methods were being used.

"We were not -- I repeat -- were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used," Pelosi said on April 23.

The emphasis seems to be on "were used," even though she conceded in a statement released Friday that she was told they would be used.

"As I said in my statement of December 9, 2007: 'I was briefed on interrogation techniques the (Bush) administration was considering using in the future. The administration advised that legal counsel for both the CIA and the Department of Justice had concluded that the techniques were legal,'" she said.

But even that statement is at odds with the official record of the briefings recorded in the CIA memo dated to Sept. 4, 2002. That memo says Pelosi received a "briefing on EITs (enhanced interrogation techniques), including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities and a description of particular EITs that had been employed."

Pelosi noted that the media had reported this week that CIA Director Leon Panetta wrote in a cover letter accompanying the briefings memo that "the descriptions provided by the CIA may not be accurate."

Pelosi is fighting back against accusations that she and other Democrats are being motivated by politics in their attempt to establish an independent commission to investigate officials and lawyers involved with the Bush-era interrogation programs.

Pelosi is just one of 65 lawmakers who received 40 briefings dealing with the subject. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., for instance, was repeatedly briefed, as was Rep. Jane Harman, D-Valif., who took over Pelosi's spot on the House Intelligence Committee.

In addition, from the beginning of the program in 2002 until it became public in the fall of 2006, the House held 13 votes to authorize intelligence funding at which time no one objected or demanded changes to any intelligence programs.

The briefings took place in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. At the time, the CIA was getting actionable intelligence that helped disrupt several terrorist plots.

Lawmakers apparently didn't want to stop that. But when it became public, Pelosi and others shifted gears and started criticizing a program they had known about for years, claimed GOP strategist Brad Blakeman.

"Either the speaker has a veracity problem or an incompetence problem and it could be both," Blakeman told FOX News. "The fact of the matter is she was briefed and she was hoping that the top secret nature of these briefings would shield her from this information coming out." (BINGO!)

Blakeman added that he trusts the notes made at the briefings more than Pelosi's memory.

Justice Department officials are not likely to recommend criminal charges against the three Bush administration lawyers who the wrote the memos approving the interrogation methods, but two could face disciplinary action from their state bar associations.

Sounds good! I'm sure you'll support hearings for anyone who authorized the torture too right?

Instead of trying to deflect, why not address the fact that Pelosi has lied about what she knew, and when she knew it?


Integrity and honesty in D.C. restored! :rolleyes:

A top aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended a CIA briefing in early 2003 in which it was made clear that waterboarding and other harsh techniques were being used in the interrogation of an alleged al-Qaeda operative, according to documents the CIA released to Congress on Thursday.

Pelosi and other 'rats knew for years in great detail about the interrogation techniques used against captured terrorists, and they said nothing. When these EITs were revealed to the public, those same dims pretended to be shocked.

Although they had been completely silent in their approval for years they repeatedly attacked the Bush Administration on the techniques.

The issue popped up again when, on the the eve of Zero's 100-day report card, the "torture" memos were released to distract people from his lack of accomplishments, his high spending, and his foreign policy failures.

The CIA has countered with documents showing that the so-called "torture" saved thousands of American lives, and with several documents proving that the dims who claimed to have been so shocked and outraged had known all along.


Now it’s those democrats who are coming under scrutiny.
