House Speaker Liar Pelosi vs CIA:

The Demorats are starting to cringe when Speaker Pelosi speaks.

They're worrying about smoke damage.

Even Leon Panetta, Democrat, current CIA Director, wrote to his personnel on Friday, 5-15:

Let me be clear: It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress. That is against our laws and our values. As the Agency indicated previously in response to Congressional inquiries, our contemporaneous records from September 2002 indicate that CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, describing “the enhanced techniques that had been employed.” Ultimately, it is up to Congress to evaluate all the evidence and reach its own conclusions about what happened."

First, Speaker Pelosi disavowed any knowledge of enhanced "torture" methods.

Then she parsed her words.

Then she parsed her words further.

I called her a liar here.

The Washington Post counters her lies here.

This is just not looking good for Madame Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

Rush Limbaugh thinks that Madame Speaker should resign. Good damned luck, Rush.

The White House doesn't want to address the Pelosi Issue.

Newt Gingrich thinks that Pelosi is vicious and dishonest, here.

Charles Krauthammer says:

The charge that the C.I.A. lied to her is an extremely serious one. She is now at war with the C.I.A., and it has the means by leaking selectively of destroying her, and I suspect it will do that."

She is now debating, like Willie J, what the definition of "is" is.

Then there is this; did she mis-speak?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, her eyes wide, her hands gesticulating wildly, on Thursday laid out a third version of what she knew and when she knew it about the Bush administration's interrogation policies, edging ever closer to debating what the meaning of the word "is" is.

I say: there are consequences to one's actions.
