Pelosi calls CIA liars over waterboarding debate

Nancy Pelosi insists that she did not know about the CIA's use of waterboarding, something that she believes is torture. The CIA says that they briefed her on the use of the interrigation thechnique and that she chose to ignore it.

However, Pelosi fired back by saying, "We were told that waterboarding was not being used." This statement angered many people because it is suggesting that the CIA is lying. I believe that it is absurd to suggest that the government's top intelligence agency is lying to officials about telling Pelosi.

Top members of the Republican Party jumped to defend the CIA. I think her accusations against our terror-fighters are irresponsible and, according to the CIA's record, Speaker Pelosi was briefed on what had been done," said Senator Kit Bond (R-MO).

It is time for us to find out what really happened, and I am definitely more willing to believe that CIA than Pelosi. Pelosi is simply trying to protect her reputation, but the CIA is simply giving what records they had on the issue. Pelosi's comments were disgusting and she needs to admit the truth.
