No they were asked she just did not think the Dems would ever be called into question on this they were only thinking throw Bush and associates into jail

The excuse they lied worked before, seems to be working again.
I wonder though. If the CIA did in fact lie to congress why wouldn't they lie to Bush???

Because it was Cheney and Rumsfeld who told Bush to lie and ordered the others in the CIA to lie about WMD.

Eventually George Tenet caved and delivered a "slam dunk" for the neocons.

The CIA is not known for its ethics

Dems? What dems?

The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room » Lieberman ‘totally disagrees’ with Pelosi

It is crystal clear - she was caught in a huge lie and is now trying to play on the meme of being "misled".

that, without question, the enhanced interrogation techniques were authorized in order to elicit false information and provide justification for the invasion of Iraq. It's his opinion that Cheney is setting himself up for prosecution. And that is coming from a former CIA operative.

I think all of this could lead to the CIA not taking threats to Congressional leaders as "valid" or "serious", since the integrity of the individuals involved is being questioned.

So first she was never told. Then it came out that she was. Now she says "ok, but they lied to me" ?

She needs to be removed from her job for lying and deceiving the American people once again.

This time she is caught red handed with her face in the till.

Thanks Nancy for lying to us all. You knew all along and did not say a word.

Even if Pelosi did know, briefings given to this special Congressional committee were classified and participants take a security oath. The disclosure of any classified information (even the existence of classified information) is a FEDERAL CRIME with serious cosequences including Federal prison time. For a federal office holder the offense of breaking a security oath is a high crime or misdemeanor that can be basis of an article of impeachment. So contrast Pelosi's behavior in regards to disclosing classified information (She hasn't and didn't do it in 2003).with Dick Cheney who has deliberately disclosed classified informatiom and has acknowledged the exisitence of classified material in violation of Federal law pertaining to information security. Cheney in my opinion is commiting a Federal Crime and is commiting one right now.
