Watch The Pelosi Presser

Here's the full video of that remarkable 19 and a half minute appearance by Nancy Pelosi this morning, in which she reads a statement and then takes questions -- and accuses the CIA of lying to Congress about torture.

How could any one think the CIA would lie...? Just because they were smuggling cocaine out of S.A. (using government planes) to buy "unmarked, non-traceable") guns/weapons to illegally sell to Iran...or just because they disappear witnesses or snatch people off the streets and send them off to "black sites", or assassinate foreign leaders in covert actions trying to overthrow the United States "not-approved foreign governments"...or gladly step in and torture people..(and what was it they did in the Bay of Pigs fiasco..was that treason?) that doesn't mean they would also lie, too...does it..?

I love Nancy. She's a tough broad and knows her stuff. She has served in public life most of her life as did her dad. She is a fabulous democrat and I would believe her anyday or the CIA or the thugs.

The thug party has tried to demonize her even way before she was Speaker of the House. She hangs tough.

Love you Nancy.

Remember it's only Republicans that lie, cheat, steal, and act like thugs!

Democrats like poor victimized Nan are being unfairly castigated by the forces of evil!

Some of the Democrat party lovers here remind me of cult members.

Remember 'Impeachment is off the table'? Gosh could that have been that tough old broad?

I figure she's scared shitless about this and that's why she's so defensive. Like many other I suspect that impeachment was off the table so her implicit acquiescence to torture would not be discovered.

Get over it. Both parties have gotten us in the mess we're in and neither will get us out of it. They're both owned by the wealthy and will do the bidding of the wealthy and not that which is best for the majority of the people in this country.

I don't buy the bullshit 'lesser of two evils' argument that democrat apologists repeat like some kind of perverse mantra. Remember the lesser of two evils is still evil.

The democrat cultists and loyalists that refuse to acknowledge this truth are part of the problem as well.

Sorry if I offended your sensitivities. Unfortunately the democrat devotee head in the ass syndrome is, as evidenced by your comment, still going strong. Much stronger than the Swine Flu.

Just remember 'Impeachment is off the table.'

Perhaps she no longer remembers saying that or is it a sinister republican smear campaign?

You democrat apologists make me sick.

It's time for a third or fourth party. The two major ones are rotten from the inside. Both are owned by the same masters yet have evidently fooled a great many people into thinking there is a true difference.

Until these pathetic and useless monoliths have fallen no real or meaningful change will occur.

there is absolutely no reason for the CIA to exist.

john kennedy knew it.
in fact there would be no cia today if he was not murdered.

It was hilarious to watch Joe Scarborough and Kit Bond this morning, suggest that the C.I.A. would never lie to a lawmaker, because they could always cut off the purse strings. And that's all true, except for that little incident (among many)of mining the harbors of Nicarauga and lying to Congress.
