Call me cynical and evil, but I don’t believe Ms. Pelosi–me thinks she does stumble over her way too many protests too much.

Pelosi called for the CIA to release detailed notes from her own September 2002 briefing about interrogation techniques.She said today that, at that 2002 briefing, she was told the CIA was not waterboarding detainees despite later government reports showing that a high value al Qaeda detainee had been subjected to waterboarding 83 times in the weeks leading up to Pelosi’s briefing.

“At every step of the way, the administration was misleading the Congress. And that is the issue,” Pelosi said in a heated news conference, linking the alleged misinformation on waterboarding to now discredited intelligence reports in fall 2002 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

I think she knew all about the “enhanced” interrogations (AKA TORTURE), as did everybody else, INCLUDING President Obama. How could you not? Were these people just miraculously unaware of all the reports being put out by the ACLU, the lawyers of people being detained, the doctors, the interrogaters, the media that was oh so reluctantly reporting on this shit (CBS was not the first time accusations of prisoner abuse surfaced, it was just the first time pictures were made available!)…I don’t believe any of them. The good thing is that Obama seems to be willing to hold people in the higher up positions accountable–which is making all those involved stumble and growl and send daughters to the media in panic.

We’ll see how this all shakes down as the year progresses…but I’m not holding my breath for a Pelosi exoneration.
