Nancy Pelosi is just another Democrat caught lying

Posted on May 14, 2009 by CHESSNOID in Current Events, Politics | 0 Comments

It is obvious to me she knew about the truth and failed to act in the best interest of the American people.    She is another flip flopper being exposed and his been caught in a lie.  Just like baseball players taking steroids and denying later they were aware of what the doctors were injecting in them, Pelosi has the deer caught in headlights look.  (Pelosi was present at a C.I.A. briefing in September 2002 that a recently released C.I.A. account says included discussion of techniques that “had been used” against a terrorism suspect.)

NY Times:

Ms. Pelosi offered her account at a tense news conference as she was pressed for a full accounting of when she became aware that the Bush administration had sanctioned harsh interrogation techniques.

The issue is emerging as one of the toughest tests of Ms. Pelosi’s tenure, as she finds herself fending off accusations of hypocrisy from Republicans for criticizing the interrogation methods, even though she had known about them, and from liberal critics who say that she should have raised the alarm earlier if she knew what was transpiring.

In her roles as both Democratic leader after 2004 and then speaker after Democrats won control of the House in 2006, Ms. Pelosi has been an outspoken critic of the administration’s treatment of detainees, saying the specter of torture had damaged the nation’s reputation and put military forces at risk.

But it was not until late 2007 that it was disclosed that, as the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Ms. Pelosi had been briefed to some degree on the interrogation methods.

Ms. Pelosi was present at a C.I.A. briefing in September 2002 that a recently released C.I.A. account says included discussion of techniques that “had been used” against a terrorism suspect.

It seems ironic that in politics, those who deny or object the loudest are usually the guilty ones. This one is a difficult one to decide on who is telling the truth, the CIA or the politician Pelosi. Hmmmm. :smile:

On a side note, this is just another reason to leave the Democrat party and register Independent (I did it).
