Apparently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) isn’t being truthful about her pre-existing knowledge of CIA’s harsh interrogation techniques including waterboarding. In September 2002, a few members of Congress, Pelosi among one of them, were briefed by the CIA about the classified overseas detention sites and the interrogation techniques. At that time, no objections were made to what the Democrats label as torture now.
It’s suffice to say that the Obama administration and Democrats’ efforts to expose these CIA techniques and perhaps even release photographs of such “abuses” are politically motivated to further dig at the Bush administration and appease the liberal base. Never mind that these tactics kept America safe post-9/11. If these Democrats had at least the heart to acknowledge this fact, I wouldn’t be so hard on them. But no, they refuse to give Bush and his CIA any credit, and since taking power in Washington, continue to go down a path of political revenge and kissing up to the liberal nutcases.
The Democrats simply have no intention of safeguarding our republic. Their latest actions only speaks of their immaturity and spitefulness.
