Was Congress Really In The Dark About CIA Plan?

Posted in Al-Qaida, Congress, Foreign Affairs, General Politics, tagged , , , , , on 14 July 2009 | 1 Comment »

As a follow-up to Wapiti’s excellent post this morning, let me just ask one simple question:
Did Congressional Democrats not read the New York Times in 2002?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 ? The Bush administration has prepared a list of terrorist leaders the Central Intelligence Agency is authorized to kill, if capture is impractical and civilian casualties can [...]

Bring It On

Posted in Election 2010, House, tagged , , , , , , on 5 June 2009 | Comments Off

Democrats want to make Pelosi the face of their party in 2010:
GOP strategists have been signaling that they intend to make the San Francisco liberal an issue in the coming mid-term elections, particularly her claims that the CIA misled her during a 2002 briefing about harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding.
But Bruce Braley , [...]

Pay No Attention To Pelosi’s Many Lies

Posted in Armed Forces, Foreign Affairs, House, tagged , , , , on 22 May 2009 | 3 Comments »

That seems to be the message from House Democrats:
House Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.
Republicans Ron Paul of Texas and Walter Jones of North Carolina joined Democrats in voting 252-172 to [...]

Take THAT, Speaker Pelosi!

Posted in Armed Forces, Foreign Affairs, House, tagged , , on 17 May 2009 | Comments Off

The President of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers offers this statement in response to Her Speakerness’ on-again-off-again accusation that the CIA lied:
Those CIA officers chosen to brief the Congress, and especially the intelligence committees, are very senior, experienced officers, who well know the reputation and future of the CIA, as well as their own jobs, are [...]

The Fall Of The Speaker

Posted in Al-Qaida, Armed Forces, Corruption, Domestic Policy, Election 2008, Election 2010, House, tagged , , , , , , on 15 May 2009 | Comments Off

Nancy Pelosi may well have had the press conference that ends her time as Speaker of the House.
By accusing the CIA of deliberately misleading Congress, she’s changed the entire picture, and I have to wonder if she realizes what she has done.
To start with, we have to realize that the CIA is a government bureaucracy–you [...]

Pelosi Told About Waterboarding in 2003

Posted in Al-Qaida, Armed Forces, Election 2010, Foreign Affairs, House, tagged , , , , , on 13 May 2009 | 1 Comment »

And the evidence keeps piling up:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A source close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now confirms that Pelosi was told in February 2003 by her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, that waterboarding was actually used on CIA detainee Abu Zubaydah.
This appears to contradict Pelosi’s account that she was never told waterboarding actually happened, [...]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: LIAR!

Posted in Al-Qaida, Armed Forces, Foreign Affairs, House, Law, tagged , , , on 7 May 2009 | 1 Comment »

Human Events has Her Speakerness dead to rights:
She knew from the beginning.  According to a CIA memorandum summarizing briefings to Congress on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorist detainees, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) knew from the very beginning that those techniques — including waterboarding — were being used on September 2, 2002.
According [...]

The Political Memory Hole

Former CIA Director and House Intelligence Committee Chairman (and he was in that latter post during the time around the 9/11 attacks, which is relevant) Porter J. Goss has apparently had enough of his Congressional colleagues’ conveniently faulty memories:
A disturbing epidemic of amnesia seems to be plaguing my former colleagues on Capitol Hill. After the [...]

Obama Holds Over Another Bush Policy

Posted in Al-Qaida, Foreign Affairs, Obama Administration, tagged , , , on 1 February 2009 | 2 Comments »

The lefty nutroots are gonna be frothing once they read this LA Times article:
Reporting from Washington — The CIA’s secret prisons are being shuttered. Harsh interrogation techniques are off-limits. And Guantanamo Bay will eventually go back to being a wind-swept naval base on the southeastern corner of Cuba.
But even while dismantling these programs, President Obama [...]
