And hopes that if she piles up the poop high enough, people will pay attention to the pile of poop rather than the lie at the bottom of it:
Under strong attack from Republicans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the CIA and Bush administration of misleading her about waterboarding detainees in the war on terror and sharply rebutted claims she was complicit in the method’s use.
“To the contrary … we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used,” she told reporters, referring to a formal CIA briefing she received in the fall of 2002.
Pelosi said she subsequently learned that other lawmakers were told several months later by the CIA about the use of waterboarding.
“I wasn’t briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it,” she said.
Everyone else in the room remembers being advised about the waterboarding…Nancy says she was advised that waterboarding wasn’t happening. Ok, Nance – lets declassify the briefing and see what was said. If you are to accuse President Bush and the CIA of deliberately misleading a second-rank backbencher presumptively so that they could play “gotcha” 7 years later, then lets see the proof.
