Let us start out with the question who do you trust when it comes to our national security? I tend to lean toward the CIA away from Pelosi. According to her own words she was only brief once but there were 40 such briefings she did not attend.
Pelosi stated:
“Of the 40 CIA briefings to Congress reported recently in the press, I was only briefed once, on September 4, 2002, as I have previously stated”.
The one she did attend she said she had her mind on her most important job of trying to get more Democrats elected in the next election along with a Democrat President so we could get healthcare and the other things the people wanted. Our National Security she had put on the back burner. She also said although she did not attend the other 39 briefings but she had sent an aid (or aids) which she has never named and was not told that interrogation techniques were used or being discussed. This is what is called “plausible deniability” or “throwing the expendable Aid under the bus”. We can only wait until the Aid or Aids get fired or let go if Pelosi gets defeated.
The poor person most likely has a confidentially signed in triplicate.
The only one she attended she said: (Pelosi’s website)
‘I was briefed on interrogation techniques the Administration was considering using in the future. The Administration advised that legal counsel for both the CIA and the Department of Justice had concluded that the techniques were legal. She said “I had no further briefings on techniques”.
Next, she tries to validate her “memory fart”, or cover up by thinking the letter sent to Jane Harman on Feb. 23 2008 proves her position: (Pelosi’s website)
‘As we informed both you and the leadership of the Intelligence Committees last September, a number of Executive Branch lawyers including lawyers from the Department of Justice participated in the determination that, in the appropriate circumstances, the use of these techniques is fully consistent with U.S. law.’
Now she had to have the CIA Director tell the Press, I am sure at Obama’s insistence, which Pelosi used as proof the CIA may have not said what it said.
“As reported in the press, a cover letter from CIA Director Panetta accompanying the briefings memo released this week concedes that the descriptions provided by the CIA may not be accurate”. Key word is “may”.
Now we have a CIA Director who “may” not believe his own people, so we are left with no answer to the question of “who said what to who”?
It appears we are not going find out, I say if in doubt throw her out.
There were other members of Congress at that briefing on Sept. 2, 2004. Guys like Porter Goss who gave their approval, encouragement, and even asked if they were, the CIA, doing enough.
Somebody is lying and I believe it is THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
I am sorry, this is unacceptable and something has to be done.
