And Nancy Pelosi is STILL Lying-


It's amazing to me- it appears she can't stop, even if she wanted to.  Some disorder, perhaps?

Pelosi was, of course, caught lying red-handed by the CIA's recent release of documents. These disproved her repeated insistence that she had "never" been briefed regarding CIA waterboarding of terrorists.  

Now that's been exposed as a pile of hooey, the House Speaker's new-and-improved version is that she was only informed that the Bush Administration was "considering" using water-boarding and other techniques... and that they (EITs) were not being used yet.

But even this lame paltering is at odds with the CIA memo dated to September 4th, 2002 that says Pelosi received a "briefing on EITs, including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities and a description of particular EITs that had been employed.


Now we learn that a top aide to Pelosi,  Michael Sheehy,  attended a CIA briefing in early 2003in 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 last Thursday.  I guess "she was never briefed" then, either... Mr Sheehy was.  But the likelyhood that she never discussed what Sheehy was told approximates 0%. Such specious behavior is short of full and sincere good-faith disclosure, to say the least.

Of course, Nancy Pelosi raised no objection to any of the EITs employed by the CIA for almost five long years- until she was Speaker in 2007 and the antiwar left raised it as an issue. Suddenly then, and in the run-up to the 2008 presidential campaign, she's strongly opposed to harsh interrogations, considers waterboarding to be a crime, and/or "knew nothing" about it's previous use- and even went so far as to feign disgust with the Bush Administration for employing such techniques. The sad truth is that Pelosi is obviously willing to lie to the whole country to create a more favorable reality, to answer questions disingenuously, and to intentionally mislead the public- of that there is little doubt.

And apparently Obama and Pelosi forgot a little something: the CIA kills people... it's in their job description. Did these two really think these killers were going to meekly take-one-for-the-team... when the team captain is a lying, incompetent, arrogant nebbish with no real-world experience... who has basically told them they need to kiss his ring? -please

Pelosi is a no-talent hack who's made a lot of enemies. Going to be hard to jive her way out of this one. This is, of course, the very same Nancy Pelosi that told CNN that "there's no pork in the stimulus bill" and that if it wasn't passed, America would "lose 500 million jobs a month". I wonder what color the sky is in her world. And it's going to be amusing to watch how the MSM and the rest of the self-righteous left attempt to cover-up her most recent blatant lies- there is precious little gray area for them to play with here.

Bottom-line is that Queen Nancy's been busted... and that Barack Obama kicked an ant-hill with his ill-advised and politically-motivated release of the Bush Administration's EIT memos.  

Let's have some hearings and get it all out there- shall we? Then watch and see how all the rats scatter that were well-aware of what was going on, and condoned it with their silence for five years... but subsequently demonized George W Bush for such techniques when the interrogations were made public.

In spite of all the horrendous evidence with their destructive behavior, beliefs, and agenda's, they still have an amazing amount of support. I wonder what the raging far left uses for an excuse when it all comes crashing down on their head?

I agree, let's have the hearings and then we will find out that all of them knew everything all along. You are right, Obama opened up this can of worms. He never should have released those documents but he did and now Pelosi is in the spotlight. This is exactly what she and the other Democrats deserve for politicizing this whole issue in the first place.
Obama has to be second guessing himself on this one.

Obama told pelosi to take the fall. Now everyone seems to talking about this torture stuff even though there is little chance of it going anywhere. Obama can still pardon whoever he wants right? But with the left being on both sides of an issue it does 2 things. 1-distracts from Obama's agenda. 2- gets the GOP to use their time on something other than land-mining obama's lawn. If you like the GOP you won't fall for obama's tricks.

I'm with you; let's bring it all out.

Commenter AaronQ has an interesting point - DID Obama ask Nancy to fall on her sword?

It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Thanks for stopping by my blog; I'm glad it led me to yours. I'm linking you!

I miss Ronnie! :)

when they decide to "bring it all out," do you suppose this little clip from Chucky Schumer might get some play?

What a joke this woman is, how can she possibly still keep her job? What a happy day for America when she goes away for good. Such a disgrace from my home state.....

Personally, I agree that Pelosi is the fall-guy (chump) but she was not much use when it came to telling lies. The issues, here, are much deeper than who knew what and when, it's when is Obama going to get on with turning this thing around and making the economy a sound business, and I don't see that happening. It looks like the power-mongers have taken Washington D. C. by storm. Those who voted for Obama, thought that Bush was Marcos, and now they have Aquino. It's history repeating itself...look it up!

Nancy likes to run rough shod over the house Dems and Republicans. I am sure very few if any will lift a finger to defend her as she waterboards herself with lies. I'll tell you this, it will take all the WMDs in the world to get her to step down from her post.

A lie I view as a deliberate attempt of hiding behind a percieved truth. I don't think she knows any better.

In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's sovereign or nation. - Wikipedia

I seem to wonder if Obama could have committed treason by releasing those documents and possibly aiding a foreign government into harming America and her people.

Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as: "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour.

Cheny this morning said in his speech that Obama basically gave the terrorists our play book - and now the terrorists know what to train for if they are captured by our government.

Cheny also went on to say that the Bush administration had prevented hundreds or thousands of lives from being lost because of the methods they used on THREE (3) terrorists one of which cut the head off of that reporter (name slips my mind).

The three people at the top running our country and who we are entrusting our lives and freedom to - Obama who gives our National Security secrets to our enemies both foreign and domestic, the second runner up - Biden who might as well have given everyone a key and google map to his bomb shelter (don't tell him any secrets, He'll sing like a canary) - and Pelosi who is just a blatant lier looking after no one else but herself and the left wing agenda...

May 21, 2009 - I believe a part of the government - the men and women who protect our great nation will perform a coup d'état on the incompetent men and woman who are running our country. If the CIA hasn't kept any secrets from these people - they will be now. They still have a job to do and thats to protect America and her people. I don't think they will follow Obama's policy - do you? This is the CIA.

Obama didn't give away anything that was a secret. The Methods of torture were well know by 2004. The only thing obama did by releasing the Memos was to give the shark lawyers some chum to warm them up for when he throws bush in the tank. But I think Reagan would not have tortured in a way that was so blatant. Bush screwed up by not just giving the prisoners to the CIA in the first place. The Army doesn't need to be doing that stuff. The CIA has been torturing people for years and bush let it all out of the bag by giving it up to the army. I don't envy ANYONE involved in this in anyway, it should not have happened.

They were and continue to be treated better than they deserve. As long as they still have their lives and don't know the sorrow of having their loved ones murdered in cold blood in something as horrific as Septemter 11, justice has not been served.

Even if they actually WERE tortured, they would get absolutely zero pity from me. I'd probably administer the torture with my own hands if it would prevent another attack like September 11. And I'd sleep at night, too, no problem.
