CIA documents prove Pelosi lied about waterboarding knowledge

You won't read about this in the mainstream media...

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was briefed on the controversial interrogation techniques since the beginning and had no objections. She knew all along!

But she acted shocked when she learned about it later. Maybe it's the excessive Botox that makes her always look surprised.

Pelosi knew about waterboarding years ago

Apparently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) isn't being truthful about her pre-existing knowledge of CIA's harsh interrogation techniques including waterboarding. In September 2002, a few members of Congress, Pelosi among one of them, were briefed by the CIA about the classified overseas detention sites and the interrogation techniques. At that time, no objections were made to what the Democrats label as torture now.

It's suffice to say that the Obama administration and Democrats' efforts to expose these CIA techniques and perhaps even release photographs of such "abuses" are politically motivated to further dig at the Bush administration and appease the liberal base. Never mind that these tactics kept America safe post-9/11. If these Democrats had at least the heart to acknowledge this fact, I wouldn't be so hard on them. But no, they refuse to give Bush and his CIA any credit, and since taking power in Washington, continue to go down a path of political revenge and kissing up to the liberal nutcases.

The Democrats simply have no intention of safeguarding our republic. Their latest actions only speaks of their immaturity and spitefulness.

White House's "perspective" on post-9/11

President Obama is back to his leftist appeasing mode now, deciding to release Office of Legal Counsel memos about the legality of those CIA interrogation techniques. Anti-Bush liberals rejoice!

Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence (by the way, an oxymoron for this administration), seems to carry a romantic flair in doing his job. From The Weekly Standard:

...The perspective, the context, is that in the months after 9/11, "we did not have a clear understanding of the enemy we were dealing with, and our every effort was focused on preventing further attacks that would kill more Americans. It was during these months that the CIA was struggling to obtain critical information from captured al Qaida leaders, and requested permission to use harsher interrogation methods. The OLC memos make clear that senior legal officials judged the harsher methods to be legal."

Blair continues: "Those methods, read on a bright, sunny, safe day in April 2009, appear graphic and disturbing. As the President has made clear, and as both CIA Director Panetta and I have stated, we will not use those techniques in the future. But we will absolutely defend those who relied on these memos and those guidelines."

Terrorists don't really care about the weather when carrying out their criminal acts. I remember September 11, 2001 as a bright and sunny day, too! Just another effort to dig at the Bush administration.
