The Pelosi fiasco is not dying. In shear stupidity Pelosi deepens the hole she has dug for herself by continuing to give interviews and is now claiming that the CIA lied when they briefed her - one time - in September of 2002 and that they are lying now, in saying that she was briefed numerous times and that enhanced interrogation techniques were discussed in detail in those briefings, especially as they pertained to Al Quaeda operative Abu Zubaydah.
Even her "good friend" former colleague on the Democratic congressional delegation from California, CIA Chief Leon Panetta, turned against her. In a memo Panetta sent to CIA employees on Friday he writes: "CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah, describing 'the enhanced techniques that had been employed"; and "There is a long tradition in Washington of making political hay out of our business, But the political debates about interrogation reached a new decibel level yesterday when the CIA was accused of misleading Congress."
Other CIA officials said on Pelosi's account of the briefing: "That's 180 degrees different from what the CIA's records show"
Pelosi tried to backpedal on Friday, saying that her accusations were against the misleading ways of the Bush administration rather than the CIA but no one is buying this new wrinkle in the Pelosi saga. Even Jay Leno is joking about her, saying: "Oh, and speaking of torture, I love this. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now says the CIA and President Bush misled her on waterboarding. Yeah. Apparently she was misled by the Bush Administration. So she spends eight years telling everybody how dumb President Bush is, and the minute she's in trouble, 'He fooled me! I had no idea! He tricked me!"...
Shame on you Nancy Pelosi. These people, at the CIA, serve America at great peril to themselves. RESIGN!!!
