Political correctness vs Moral correctness-
 
Looks like Pelosie thinks PC is more important than MC.

Nixon lied, Clinton lied and now it's pointing to Pelosie
lying.

Neva works. :doh:

Sad thing is it seems to be coming acceptable for politicians. :(

They should release the full transcript of the briefing.

I don't think you can say that she's lied.

The situation is looking like members of Congress weren't paying critical attention to the situation and made some bad assumptions.

Pelosi is now paying the price for those assumptions, as it's taken her high ground to go after the issue. She looks to be spinning, but not lying. If I were Obama I'd give her a slap as she's being too much of a distraction. He should can her and get someone less polarizing as the Speaker to help sell his plans.

Many Republicans have stated they felt misled by the Administration on issues surrounding the war on terror. The idea that they might work to mislead Congress on interrogation techniques is quite reasonable.

I didn't say she lied, i said it was pointing to her lying.

Just using a little common sense here , highly unlikely the CIA is having briefings with congress to tell what they are NOT going to do.

She has changed her story 5 times and seeing her complete press
conference yesterday, besides stuttering and stammering, she looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

Leon Panetta,D appointed by Obama has come out and said the CIA
did not lie about the matter. Evidently there was a slide presentation
at the meeting showing whatever they were briefing on.

Looks like she's going to get a lesson in Chinese Torture as the CIA
starts leaking drip by drip on her. :)

In any event none of this has been or will be good for our military, imho.

So, she's either lying or she was extremely negligent in her duties.

I don't think "extremely negligent" is appropriate if they were given misleading information.

The correct word is actually reckless.

On that we can agree, the Administration was extremely reckless on this matter.

She would be Queen Pelosi
 
Did you ever think the reason why no charges are going to be brought is because all the democrats that knew and accepted waterboarding as legitimate sport amongst the spooks?

I hope she lies to an F.B.I. agent.

I think she is the phonniest, hypocrite ever to grace capital hill.

I actually don't blame the Obama Administration on this.:jester: Just the hypocrits like Pelosi.

PaulS 05-18-2009 07:26 AM

B. Graham said that the CIA said that they briefed him 4 times. He told them his records said 1 time. The CIA agreed. Graham also said that he was not told about torture.

I don't know if Pelosi or the CIA is right but its very disheartning to hear that either someone/something is lying or that there could be 0.0001% of miscommunication between our premier intelligence agency and a senator.
