The House Rejects Request for Pelosi/CIA Probe
I really wouldn’t have expected anything less from the liberal House. This is probably the most progressive House we have had in a long time and it unfortunately gives Pelosi a lot of leeway to get away with impeachable offenses like throwing an entire intelligence agency under the bus and accusing them of lying.
House Republican Leader John Boehner on Thursday demanded that a bipartisan congressional panel investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against a terrorism suspect.
“We have no choice,” Boehner told reporters, arguing that Pelosi’s remarks were having a chilling effect on the intelligence community.
Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, introduced a resolution on Boehner’s behalf calling for the probe.
Even though Democrats want to argue that this is a partisan investigation, what would they call their little truth commission of the Bush administration? I also would like to know, as an independent thinker, who is telling the truth here, the CIA or Nancy Pelosi? I think it’s important for the American public to get the facts, but the House voted against the probeand stated that Nancy Pelosi already requested the declassification of her notes/files which would corroborate her claims.
House Democrats have defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.
The House voted 252-172 to block the measure that would have created a bipartisan congressional panel.
If Nancy really did request that information, will she publish her request that she sent to the CIA like Dick Cheney did? Remember how the media and the leftist bloggers questioned Cheney’s honesty when he said he made a request to the CIA?
Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites – how many times can it be said – it’s getting really old and tiresome.
