Pelosi: Torture protest improper in '03

Politico ^ | 11 May 2009 | GLENN THRUSH & JOHN BRESNAHAN

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned in early 2003 that the Bush administration was waterboarding terror detainees but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels, a person familiar with the situation said Monday.

[Sloth]

I heard it was only her evil clone that approved of waterboarding. She only chose not to expose the clone’s plot at the time out of politeness.

But, but, if it was inappropriate them to protest, would it not be inappropriate to prosecute those who gave a legal opinion then? Or am I thinking too logically?

[A message]

Liar, liar, botox on fire.

The hag has never foregone an opportunity to make a ludicrous partisan attack.

For ‘tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petard: and ‘t shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines,
And blow them at the moon: O, ‘tis most sweet,
When in one line two crafts directly meet.

Translation?

“But, but, if it was inappropriate them to protest, would it not be inappropriate to prosecute those who gave a legal opinion then? Or am I thinking too logically?”

In 0bama’s New America, you’re going to have to do something about those pesky floods of neurons freely associating and making those irritating logical connections. Oh sure, some may call them “insurgent” neurons, perhaps some may even call them “freedom fighter” neurons. But rest assured, if they’re engaged in logical tomfoolery, they’re “terrorist” neurons to 0bama.

Hamlet describes Polonius destroyed as a result of his plotting — an obvious unintended consequence.

Sources! We must have sources. Without a source this info is worthless.

[upchuck]

Hey Nancy, is this your final answer lie on this matter?

[Thumper1960]

Now, wait.................she now says she knew about the “torture” but didn’t say anything? So.....isn’t that being an accessory?

[cranked]

“...but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels...”

I don’t know about most of you, but I call BS!

[BreitbartSentMe]

I’m sure the DUmmies are NOT amused...

[ConservativeMind]

Exactly.

[pankot]

She is textbook Sociopath.

[TeleStraightShooter]

Not only that, Holder was deputy AG under Clinton who signed off on "Advanced Interrogation Techniques" of which Waterboarding was most probably one of them.

look it up in his confirmation hearings on a question form a (R) Senator

[Texas Eagle]

May it be so.

I have been waiting for a Pelosi thread to post this email I received from a friend, I am sure a lot of you have seen this but I can't resist:

The Pope and Nancy

The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. The Speaker and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before. To make it a little more interesting, the Speaker says to the Pope, "Do you know with one little wave of my hand, I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?" He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, her wave elicits rapture and cheering from every Democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides.

The Pope not to be outdone, by such a level of arrogance, considers what he should do.

"That was very impressive, the Pope says, but did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand, I can make EVERY person in the crowd go crazy with joy?" "This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go into their hearts, and they will speak forever of this day, and rejoice." The Speaker seriously doubts this, and says so. "One little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever?" "Show me."

So the Pope slapped her.

[KLT]

Good joke, I like that pope..

[americanophile]

Ya, she's just another pretty face. Wait...

For the last several days when listening to the news I heard that various sources insinuated that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi lied when she stated that she was not properly informed about the procedures used to extract useful information from detainees.

One of those sources was Rush Limbaugh who also insinuated that Nancy Pelosi lied, what of course greatly upset me. I strongly believe that Nancy Pelosi never, ever lied in her live as she is way too dumb to understand what she is being told and when she regurgitates something she can’t always keep the facts straight. So for the future give that poor woman a break as she has a hard enough time to keep a straight face while maligning the truth and spending as much of your money as she possible can. But rest assured she can feel your pain.
