[Osx-nutters] Pelosi Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002

[Chuck Bennett]

" For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current  
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the  
CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators  
had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.
Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was  
waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as  
torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that  
day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the  
room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said."

"The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included  
Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.)  
and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss  
(R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan)."

So.  What did Pelosi know and when did she know it?

Looks like, at least, these folks are not hypocrites.  <http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/12/10/18466042.php

"We now know the REAL reason Pelosi hurried to say "Impeachment is NOT  
on the table": she is complicit and thereby subject to Impeachment  
herself as she actually KNEW about torture, waterboarding in 2002.?

One might say that she was for Waterboarding before she was against it.

I wonder if this will get much main stream traction.
