Nancy Pelosi Finally Admits She Knew About Waterboarding And Did Nothing

  Nancy Pelosi has been lying for years about what she knew about waterboarding and when she knew about it. But as more and more CIA documents were released she finally had to come clean and admit that she did in fact know that the CIA was using waterboarding all along but did nothing to prevent it.

  Her first lame claim was that the CIA told her that they could use waterboarding but that they did use waterboarding. This was how she tried to say that she didn’t know that the CIA was waterboarding. But that story fell apart with the release of a briefing that she attended in 2003 when she was told that the CIA did waterboard a detainee.

  Now she is cover your ass mode and has finally told at least a little bit of the truth. Nancy Pelosi is backtracking from her original claim. She is now claiming that it would have been improper to protest waterboarding in 2003 and that she had to respect legislative channels. Jane Harman was also briefed on waterboarding and drafted a letter opposing the method, a letter that Nancy Pelosi refused to sign. Why if she was opposed to waterboarding back then did she not at least sign this letter opposing the method? Democrats are blaming President Bush for the fact that they didn’t oppose President Bush.

You have to remember, in the 2002 period, the whole atmospherics, it was all about scaring people every day,” said Elmendorf. “People were legitimately concerned that we were going to be attacked again, and there was a constant drumbeat coming from the Bush administration of, ‘Bad things could happen, bad things could happen.’ Nobody wants it to happen on their watch

  Typical. The fact is that Nancy Pelosi knew what was going on all along and didn’t oppose it until the Democrats managed to turn the American people against the war effort by claiming that our troops were equivalent to Pol Pot, Nazi’s, and Soviet gulags. Once it became politically expedient to oppose waterboarding that is when she decided to oppose it. When she thought the American people supported it, so did she.

  This woman has been exposed as a liar and a hypocrite and there is no reason to believe she is telling the whole truth now. I say bring on the investigations into the Bush administration. If the left finally realizes their wet dream of seeing President Bush and Dick Cheney in handcuffs then right behind them in handcuffs and ankle bracelets will be Nancy Pelosi.
