How Do I Phrase This In A Sensitive Manner?
Nancy Pelosi is a prevaricating vaginal orifice:
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on terrorist suspect Abu Zubaydah in September 2002, according to a report prepared by the Director of National Intelligence’s office and obtained by ABC News.
The report, submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee and other Capitol Hill officials Wednesday, appears to contradict Pelosi’s statement last month that she was never told about the use of waterboarding or other special interrogation tactics. Instead, she has said, she was told only that the Bush administration had legal opinions that would have supported the use of such techniques.
The report details a Sept. 4, 2002 meeting between intelligence officials and Pelosi, then-House intelligence committee chairman Porter Goss, and two aides. At the time, Pelosi was the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee.
The meeting is described as a “Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of particular EITs that had been employed.”
EITs stand for “enhanced interrogation techniques,” a classification of special interrogation tactics that includes waterboarding.
At the briefing, Pelosi did not formally register objections to the interrogation techniques authorized by the Bush administration. President Obama has said he considers such techniques to be "torture."

Apparently Pelosi and Obama forgot something: the CIA KILLS people... it's in their job description. Did these two really think that these killers were going to take-one-for-the-team... when the team captain is a lying, incompetent, arrogant nebbish who has basically told them they need to kiss his ring? -please
-
Obama really kicked an ant hill with his ill-advised and politically motivated release of Bush Administration memos regarding EITs.
-
Let's have a hearing and get it all out there, shall we? Then watch the rats scatter who attacked Bush for protecting the country from terrorist attack... but who clearly knew what was going on five years before we heard a peep out of them.

I normally avoid “Morning Joe” on MSNBC like I would the screeching caterwauling of a … well, the screeching caterwauling of a group of uninformed blowhard ignoramuses. Funny coincidence.

The basic line is that CIA agents would never mislead or lie to congress, so, ipso facto, they did not lie to congress. Further, the fact that Pelosi asserted they misled her or lied to her, when all right thinking people just know the CIA would never mislead her or lie to her, destroys her credibility and, by extension, that of Barack Obama, every Democrat and anyone to the left of Dick Cheney ever.
But then Mean Old Buzzkill Lawrence O’Donnell came along with his irritating knowledge, grasp of reality and use of facts.

O’Donnell mentioned that none other than St AuH20 said that the CIA lied to him about mining harbors in Nicaragua in the 1980s.
