House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, epitomizes the iron fisted party leader. She apparently believes she is immune to the repercussions that would plague lesser creatures when caught contradicting themselves. In her compulsion to discredit the Bush administration, Ms. Pelosi has joined in on the frenzy of accusations that Bush officials resorted to torture to defend the U.S. from terrorist attack. But having been forced to contradict herself several times as to what she learned in the enhanced interrogation briefings she received, Ms. Pelosi has decided that her new defense is to charge that the CIA lied to her in those briefings.
'House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (Calif.) assertion at a press conference this morning that the Bush administration and the Central Intelligence Agency misled her and the Congress regarding the treatment of suspected terrorists adds further fuel to the fire on an issue that has been on a low boil for weeks.
Asked whether she was accusing the CIA of lying to her during a 2002 briefing on the use of so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques," Pelosi said: "Yes, misleading the Congress of the United States, misleading the Congress of the United States. I am."'
I don't get how anybody can think that the current Democratic leadership, particularly Speaker Pelosi, is in any way at all honorable. It's also hard for me to imagine that the CIA will be bashful about payback in the face of this insult. But who knows? Maybe with her better read on the situation Ms. Pelosi has reason to be confident that party loyalty within the agency will be her salvation.
Little ol' Nancy epitomizes the iron fisted party leader? Seriously? So the torture was all her fault? LOL! Keep rolling with that, I dare you...
Honor? You're a torture sympathizer. You do not know the first damn thing about honor. Or discipline for that matter...
