San Fran Nan Piglosi ~ Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

We all knew that Ms. Piglosi was lying from the get go when new information came to light regarding who was privy to the CIA briefing about interrogation methods, namely waterboarding.  She came up with a Bill ‘Clintonesque’ to attempt to confuse anybody who can’t read or surf the net. 

She admitted the CIA briefed her and others on interrogation methods, including waterboarding, on suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay prison.  BUT her excuse was she didn’t know that they would ACTUALLY use those methods on the terrorists.  She then asked what the definition of IS, is.

Most of us were not born yesterday, so it was obvious she was grasping at straws during her press conference.  However, there was no proof, only “he said, she said,” of the briefing; that is until the CIA released their briefing report yesterday.

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.

*EITs = Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

Human Events obtained the list of those who were briefed and privy to the interrogation techniques in 2002 – and not surprisingly, Democrat after Democrat is listed on this document:

• Nancy Pelosi
• John Rockefeller
• Harry Reid
• Dianne Feinstein
• Jane Harman
• Babs Mikulski
• John Murtha
• Adam Schiff
• Carl Levin
• Russ Feingold
• Evan Bayh
• Bob Graham

They are going to need another made up CRISIS to get out of this one!
