Democrats Knew About Interrogations.

Ben Graham — Sat, 2009-05-09 10:22

And the truth continues to come out. The NY Times today reported that documents released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence shows that top Democrats including Nancy Pelosi were briefed on water boarding and other interrogation techniques.

From NY Times:

The new chart of briefings, prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, was the first full listing of briefings to members of Congress and their aides. It appears to call into question the longstanding assertion of Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she was never told that waterboarding and other methods were actually used, only that the Central Intelligence Agency believed they were legal and could be used.
The chart said that at the first briefing, on Sept. 4, 2002, Ms. Pelosi, then the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, and Representative Porter J. Goss, the committee’s Republican chairman, were given a “description” of the interrogation methods that “had been employed” against a prisoner, Abu Zubaydah.

I love how even the NY Times shows that she lied about only being briefed once. Admittedly later in the article they did include Pelosi's statement about the documents that they thought cast doubt about the documents. In reality her statement only illistrates that she is lying.

“Of the 40 C.I.A. briefings to Congress reported recently in the press, I was only briefed once, on Sept. 4, 2002, as I have previously stated.” She said she was “briefed on interrogation techniques the administration was considering using in the future” and that the techniques were determined to be legal.
Ms. Pelosi also noted that Leon E. Panetta, the director of the C.I.A., had warned lawmakers that the descriptions of briefings provided in the new report were based on notes and recollections of C.I.A. officers. “In the end, you and the committee will have to determine whether this information is an accurate summary of what actually happened,” Mr. Panetta wrote to several members of Congress.

The list of briefings contains 40 different times that congress was briefed on the interrogations? And you were only briefed once? I don't think so Ms. Pelosi. Even if the list is compiled from C.I.A. officers do you really think that they made up 39 other times that they reported to congress? I love how even Ms. Pelosi's own statement reveals her own lie.

As for me, interrogate the crap out of those SOB's. They are doing much worse to our guys over in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we can save American lives by making one terrorist a little uncomfortable. Then by all means make him uncomfortable! I don't think that we should be cutting of body parts or anything but anything that doesn't do any permanent physical harm should be allowed.

The Soft Underbelly of the party

Aren't these inflammatory comments going to rile the reasonable and most wise elders of the party (Ridge/Powell)???

Were has she been all this time

Apparently Pelosi and Obama forgot something: the CIA KILLS people… it’s in their job description.

Did those two really think that these killers were going to just meekly take-one-for-the-team… when the team captain is a lying, incompetent, arrogant nebbish who has basically told them they need to kiss his ring? -please

Obama really kicked an ant hill with his ill-advised and politically motivated release of Bush Administration memos regarding EITs- I’m sure he already regrets it.

Let’s have a hearing and get it all out there, shall we? Then watch the rats scatter who attacked Bush for protecting the country from terrorist attack… but who clearly knew what was going on five years before we heard a peep from them.

Pelosi Lies

MAS1916 (not verified) — Tue, 2009-05-12 11:59

Of course Nancy Pelosi knew the full extent of the interrogation methods. Either that or she was deaf. She also apparently didn't think that the people giving the briefing would take any notes.

These lies are just another part of the conservative resurgence we should see in 2010. Lies and a failing economy with rampant inflation, high interest rates and high unemployment will be her legacy.

Conservatives will have a lot of cleaning up to do, but they should take heart. For a list of other reasons conservatives should be optimistic, you can hit:
