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.

Nancy has gotta be one of the dumbest bitches ever to walk the face of the earth. Don’t screw with people who have the means to leak information that can take you down.

Somebody on the Dem side wants Nancy gone if this is showing up in the NYT. Who has something to gain by her departure?

Pelosi isn’t a likable PERSON. I suspect that the libs feel so secure in being on top, that they feel they can get rid of a witch and not feel threatened.

Ideologigy doesn’t mean we all like one another and want to have barbeques together.

This appears to be from May 8th. Is there anything new here that counters what Pelosi was saying this morning?

This isn’t a new story. According to the link, it was published May 8, nearly a week ago.

Reminds me - I’m readong The Broker, by John Grisham. Good book. ;)

This stuff is looking like a Clancy/Grisham novel.

Ya gotta believe that if the Times, of all Snooze-papers is reporting this, then San Fran Nan’s days are numbered.

I hope so!

She’s sinking fast. She called the CIA liars. They were the last bastion hiding the truth for her. They’ll have no interest in protecting her any longer. Bye Nancy, you dope.

It gets worse when you move over to the senate and think Barbara Boxer.
