Torture Battle Escalating, Pelosi vs. Boehner
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 23 2009 | Carolyn Lochhead

Posted on 04/26/2009 5:40:30 AM PDT by kellynla

Pelosi: "It is not appropriate for me to talk about what happens at briefings. It is very interesting that people are talking so freely. But I can say this: they have been talking about it for a while. At that or any other briefing, and that was the only briefing that I was briefed on in that regard, we were not -- I repeat, we were not -- told that water boarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used."

Then just why do you think you were briefed about it? I Nancy is just plain stupid. She was probably asleep. OK she is a liar too.

They told her of interrogations of al Qaeda persons that resulted in good intelligence. Connect the dots; those people do not GIVE out information freely.

Pelosi knew something was up. She's not as stupid as her voters.

Nancy is protesting so vigorously it tells us that she even participated in waterboarding!

Strawman argument Nazi (No oil for YOU!) Pelosi. If you authorized it, there no reason to believe that it wouldn’t be used. You should have taken a real stand when it counted. Oh wait, you did. Now you want a do-over.

The thing that is amazing me is none of these things were illegal! We do the same or worse things to our own men and women at or our military training facilities to prepare them! We interrogated properly and received useful information to save lives. End of story!

We need to tell these political power whores to GFT!

The more I read about this the more I am convinced, the Obama administration released those documents not to bash Bush, but to keep Pelosi in line and on the defense.

There is a serious challenge going on right now between the Executive branch and Legislative branch for who will have the upper hand.

I have said from day one, Rahm was picked as Chief of Staff to reign in the Congress, not attack the GOP. He and Nancy were quite close, and Rahm knows where all the dead bodies are buried literally and figuratively.

This is Obama shot across the bow to Pelosi, "don't challenge me on legislation, I have my agenda"

Remember 2010 is coming up and MANY House democrats will be in the fight of their lives to get re-elected because the mood in the country is throw the bums out.

If the Democrats would just Admit that waterboarding is NOT TORTURE....there would be no Problem.

Pelosi’s stupidity while being the Head of Congress, is torturing me daily.

“She’s not as stupid as her voters.”

That’s a big assumption. From what I’ve seen of Queen Pelosi, there must be some inbreeding involved. Of course, given her location of residence, it might have been too much acid back when...

At any rate, she looks to be just as dishonest as she is stupid.

I disagree...Hussein's admin’s hate for GWB & his administration blinded them to the reality that the ‘Rats voted for & FUNDED these interrogations...Hussein just forgot that Pelousy is as dumb as a box of rocks!

This could be good. When Pelosi gets backed into the corner snarling & gnashing her teeth, she might have to ask to see his birth certificate :)

That's my point, Zer0 knows what intell info was known by what committees and by whom.

Why would Zer0 release this info if he knows the democrats in Congress approved by tacit or by silence the methods used and have to answer for it?

Answer: leverage

BTW, Pelosi isn't dumb, she may be a liar, but she isn't dumb.

She knows she boxed in and she has two ways out: admit she knew or lie. She a democrat so she did what come natural, she lied

I was really upset when I had to take the gas mask off and my eyes and nose started watering real bad.

I’m not sure how long Pelosi has been a California resident. She is a product of the Baltimore political machine, however.

Hussein didn't forget anything. True Pelosi is as stupid as they come but most Democrats in general really think their voters are stupid and will believe any lie they tell them. They also know that even if some don't believe the lies they will vote them in office anyway because of their hatred for Conservatives Republicans. Now that they're in office the lies are compounded on a daily basis. Lately you listen to Obama, Pelisi, and all the rest of them you'd think these people in office were living on a different plane far away from reality. Obama knows that the dems will lie their way out of this, all he wants to do do is go after Bush & Cheney.
