Pelosi keeps on getting caught in lie after lie and her story has to change to cover the latest lie. Too bad she couldn't just tell the truth.
A sad story in our countries history has now been reduced to political
bickering. This information should have never been released in the first place. But now that it is out lets release everything and see who starts the diatribe of innocence. The bottom line is, are we really going to do anything to those that knew IET was going on? I don't think so, which makes this whole thing worthless.
The country blasts Pelosi. She needs to step down.
Boehner and the rest of the GOP are using a tried and true ploy of criminals through out the ages. Deny, deny,deny, and when denial no longer works shift attention away from the guilty parties and create a diversion from the real criminal acts. He would have us believe that the C.I.A. would never mislead members of our own government. This is the same C.I.A. that destroyed hundreds of videos that might be construed as evidence of torture during interrogation. Not only misleading but also a felony (destruction of evidence ) This is also the same C.I.A. that supplied such great intelligence on the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Let's not forget that torture is a violation of the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Federal Law, International Law, International Treaties, and the Geneva convention. Let us not also forget That Dick Cheney, George Bush, and the Justice Department orchestrated the illegal American inquisition that has brought us to this point.
If it's real truth we're after perhaps Dick Cheney could stop encouraging our enemies that now is the time to attack us, and find the time to testify on his own behalf. As for John Boehner, perhaps we will fall into the abyss that is the Republican Party.
John Boehner is a farce and should never be in politics. Only in America.
