Held Accountable

What was Pelosi thinking? That she would not be held accountable for her actions a few years ago? That American's are too stupid to google?

This article in the San Francisco Chronicle (!) by Debra Saunders lays out the case that Pelosi's attempt at "truth commissions" on waterboarding wete, at best, an exercise in hypocracy.

Porter Goss, the House Intelligence Committee chairman in 2002 who went on to become director of the CIA, has a different recollection. As he wrote in the Washington Post, he, Pelosi and the ranking Senate Intelligence Committee members were briefed extensively, "understood what the CIA was doing," and "gave the CIA our bipartisan support." Goss was "slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were actually to be employed."

Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee, has called on the Director of National Intelligence to release complete CIA briefing documents - including information as to who attended and what was said, so that Americans will know what congressional leaders like Pelosi knew. Daly told me that Pelosi supports that effort as she generally believes in transparency.

Just the threat of being exposed has made Pelosi back off on her push for the ridiculous and dictator/totalitarian attempt at a "truth commission".

So now we should ask, just what truth is Pelosi trying to hide from?
