Pelosi caught in a bald face lie

Well, well, well... Nancy Pelosi has been caught lying about what she knew on the enhanced interrogations of the mastermind behind 9/11, Khalid Shiek Muhammed.

She said on April 26th, and on May 4th: "we were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”

However, According to a CIA document compiled by the Director of National Intelligence summarizing briefings to Congress on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorist detainees, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) knew from the very beginning that those techniques -- including waterboarding -- were being used on September 4, 2002.

According to the memo the very first briefing listed is 9/4/02 with then Rep. Porter Goss & Pelosi. The summary of the briefing says:

“Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed.

She is obviously trying to score political points against the Bush Administration, at the behest of the far left lunatics in our country.

Facts are stubborn though: 60 congressmen, many say as much as 30 Democrats, including Senator Jay Rockefeller, knew of the waterboarding techniques that were being used on these terrorists.... And as we all know, NOBODY said a word about not wanting us to use these techniques.
