Nancy Pelosi before plastic surgery

Nancy Pelosi continues to deny knowledge of the waterboarding of a few terrorists. But more evidence has emerged which would suggest she’s lying or has a really bad memory. In either case, this woman certainly shouldn’t be in a position of power within the US government.

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.

In a 10-page memo outlining an almost seven-year history of classified briefings, intelligence officials said that Pelosi and then-Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.) were the first two members of Congress ever briefed on the interrogation tactics. Then the ranking member and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, respectively, Pelosi and Goss were briefed Sept. 4, 2002, one week before the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The memo, issued by the Director of National Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency to Capitol Hill, notes the Pelosi-Goss briefing covered “EITs including the use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah.” EIT is an acronym for enhanced interrogation technique. Zubaydah was one of the earliest valuable al-Qaeda members captured and the first to have the controversial tactic known as water boarding used against him.

    SO NICE TO BE A DEMOCRAT, LIE ALL TOU WANT, AND BE SURE THAT THE MEDIA WILL NEVER CALL YOU ON IT. AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY RETURN THE “FAIRNESS DOCTRINE” THEN WE WON’T EVEN HAVE LIMBAUGH. STICK A FORK IN THIS COUNTRY. IT’S DONE.

    …”On election day, Democrats gained 31 seats in the House, enough to take control, and Republicans became the minority party after 12 years of control.”…

    My friend asked me, “Angrywhiteman, what does this mean?” I replied, “This is the end of America as we know it.”

    And remember, the CIA is full of Democrats. Not Republicans.

    What happens if you waterboard someone who’s had that much plastic surgery??
