Pelosi Renews Dispute With CIA Over Interrogation Techniques

Prodded by the release of dozens of declassified CIA documents, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi renewed her long-running dispute with the Central Intelligence Agency about the use of harsh interrogation practices.

Prodded by the release of dozens of declassified CIA documents, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi renewed her long-running dispute with the Central Intelligence Agency about the use of harsh interrogation practices.

"I have never been briefed by the CIA or anyone else on the subject of those interrogations, to the extent that they were being used," the California Democrat told reporters Tuesday. "We were only briefed that there were lawyers in the Justice Department that thought they were legal, period."

The comments marked Pelosi's first foray into the controversy in nine months that pitted the top House Democrat against the nation's premier spy agency.

The documents show Pelosi was briefed about "ongoing interrogations of Abu Zubaydah"

Pelosi: I was only briefed once in September 2002....except that other time...and it was only about interrogations that were going to be used, except for the fact that they were ongoing...

And what’s mind-boggling is that people will believe and defend her.

This confirms, with absolute certainty, that the healthcare bill is dead.

Red meat for the "progressives".

Must be time for another stretching. Her face looks like it’s starting to melt. My mom would say, “she looks like 10 miles of bad road.”

Ever heard the expression “If she gets another face lift, she’ll have a goatee”?

Cruel interrogation would mean sending Nancy Pelosi to do it.

“Her lips are moving....’’ Which means she’s lying. This dumb bitch is beyond stupid. I really think she is mentally retarded, seriously.
