Scott Johnson at Power Line<\/a> has the summation of the Nancy Pelosi denial of knowledge of waterboarding at his website. He references the Washington Post<\/a> report:<\/p>\n

“Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is no seeming contradiction–her repeated statements do not line up with the hard facts.  Either the evidence or her explanation is untrue.  This is the link to the photocopies of the meeting’s agenda at Politico.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ruckus about prosecuting the lawyers who advised President Bush is dying down–has anyone other than the blogosphere noticed that President Obama has decided to continue those ‘controversial’ policies.  (See yesterday’s post at rightwinggranny.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you are reading this and not feeling manipulated by the media and the anti-Bush people, you are not paying attention.  Power Line<\/a> has the summation and updates on the entire sorry situation.  This is not just a normal Congressional lie–this is a bit of political theatre that has been very damaging to our country’s national security.  National security used to be a non-partisan issue, to politicize it is foolish and will eventually hurt all of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
