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.
