Pelosi: Bush briefers lied to me

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Bush administration told her explicitly they weren't using waterboarding on terror detainees during a Sept. 2002 briefing on interrogation tactics -- months after they had begun waterboarding Abu Zabaydah.

Pelosi also called on CIA director Leon Panetta to release full details on her briefing -- and shook her head in the affirmative when asked if the administration had actually "lied" to her.

"The only mention of waterboarding in the briefing was that it was not being employed," she told reporters, reading from a prepared statement -- twice for emphasis.

The intelligence briefers gave Pelosi, she said, "inaccurate and incomplete information."

"Perhaps they should release the briefing-- I would be very happy if they released the briefing," Pelosi added.

I don't think Obama likes "Women in Power".

(Likely reason for no picking Hillary as VP)...which puts Hillary on the same rung as Madeline Albright.

Pelosi is "going down".

"Here comes the setup fot the "TRUTH COMMISSIONS"

I agree. This is all being manufactured so they can investigate everything the Bush Administration did.

This reminds me of a trial that I had to serve jury duty on a few years back, where the perp pretty much threw everything including the kitchen sink at us in a desperate effort to avoid conviction. Never mind that none of his stories matched the evidence, and all contradicted each other.

She's going down...and my guess is, when that becomes clear to her, she will not go down alone.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

NOW WE KNOW WHAT A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER DOES

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

She thinks they won’t so it’s safe to lie. She will soon be put out to pasture for causing a distraction, and the CIA will no doubt go for it’s own pound of flesh, er wrinkles...

"Isn’t this her 6th or 7th interpretation of what took place?"

She's lied so many times she can't keep her excuses straight.

Ha ha. John Boehner just said that she's had way too many excuses.

She is falling apart...

I saw the presser on Fox. Nancy was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

She’s basically calling the CIA flat-out liars and daring them to release their “briefing notes”. OMG, I hope they find a way to do that and it comes back to slap that silly biotch smack in the face.

“Is she calling for the minutes to be released? WHat is her motiation here?”

The minutes have been scrubbed and redacted. There will be no evidence and she will claim that because there is no evidence that she is correct that Bush lied.

Revisionist History 101.

Everybody except Nancy Pelosi is a liar. Isn't that obvious?

Nancy Pelosi: the Casey Anthony of the House of Representatives.

Maybe the Obama Dems want her out of the way. After all she is the one that would suffer the most politcally. Who would become Speaker then? Rangel, Conyers

They can hammer Cheney all you want....But he will be truthful and consequently, you won't catch him in some "lie".
