BF2S Forums Nancy Pelosi is a 2 faced female sexual organ!!

"But the committees can look into and see the timing of who knew what and when and what the nature of the briefing was. I have not been briefed as to what they were briefed on in February. I was just briefed that they were informed that some of the enhanced situations were used," she said.

After Pelosi's news conference, a CIA spokesman said the agency's records, and a chart showing which members of Congress were briefed and when, indicate that Pelosi was briefed on the interrogation methods being used.

"The language in the chart -- 'a description of the particular EITs [enhanced interrogation techniques] that had been employed' -- is true to the language in the Agency's records," spokesman George Little said in a statement.

"As Director Panetta pointed out in his recent letter to the Congress, 'This information, however, is drawn from the past files of the CIA and represents MFRs [memoranda for the record] completed at the time and notes that summarized the best recollections of those individuals. In the end, you and the Committee will have to determine whether this information is an accurate summary of what actually happened,' " Little said.

House Minority Leader John Boehner said Pelosi's comments "continue to raise more questions than provide answers."

"I've dealt with our intelligence professionals for the last 3½ years on an almost daily basis. And it's hard for me to imagine that anyone in our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress," he said.

Asked about Pelosi's allegations that Republican policy was leading the country astray, Boehner said, "I think the problem is that the speaker has had way too many stories on this issue."

"When you look at the number of briefings that the speaker was in and other Democrat members of the House and Senate, it's -- it's pretty clear that they were well aware of what these enhanced interrogation techniques were, they were well aware that they had been used, and -- and it seems to me that they want to have it both ways. You can't have it both ways," he said.

When you are in the wrong start pointing fingers.

Who would be the one responsible for approving what the CIA tells Congress, that would be the administration and more likely Cheney.
Testimony in the investigation of the "enhanced techniques" has already showed that a memo that called those techniques torture and being illegal was collected up and destroyed by the administration. That means that the "opinions" are not opinions at all but manufactured pieces for political cover and possibly cover from criminal wrong doing. Why do you think Cheney is now running around an basically saying that if he goes down he's taking Bush with him.

Now if Cheney had a hand in manufacturing opinions about "enhanced techniques" you can be pretty sure that everything that was reported to Congress was also vetted to convey the proper message.

In the end its a non issue what was told to congress, it not like they were "the decider."
and I agree this thread has been tortured enough.

I suppose that explains why Obama's administration won't release the reports Cheney requested that show the efficacy of the techniques. They are just as classified as what Obama released to start the shitstorm.

The bottomline is that certain members of Congress and their senior staffers (that would include Pelosi) are briefed on EVERYTHING that happens. EVERYTHING. They have to be in order for the funding for those programs to flow. Programs of that nature receive very careful scrutiny by Congress. For her to claim they weren't told about it is bullshit. By giving the go-ahead for the program (which is exactly what would have to have been done for funding to flow), she is complicit in what she has deemed to be criminal activity. Condemned by her own words.

At least Cheney is up front about it.
