Pants on fire - Pelosi and Waterboarding

Caught with her knickers down. From ABC News:

Intelligence Report: Pelosi Briefed on Use of Interrogation Tactics in Sept. �02
ABC News� Rick Klein reports: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the use of �enhanced interrogation techniques� on terrorist suspect Abu Zubaydah in September 2002, according to a report prepared by the Director of National Intelligence�s office and obtained by ABC News.

The report, submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee and other Capitol Hill officials Wednesday, appears to contradict Pelosi�s statement last month that she was never told about the use of waterboarding or other special interrogation tactics. Instead, she has said, she was told only that the Bush administration had legal opinions that would have supported the use of such techniques.

The report details a Sept. 4, 2002 meeting between intelligence officials and Pelosi, then-House intelligence committee chairman Porter Goss, and two aides. At the time, Pelosi was the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee.

The meeting is described as a �Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of particular EITs that had been employed.�

EITs stand for �enhanced interrogation techniques,� a classification of special interrogation tactics that includes waterboarding.

Pelosi, D-Calif., sharply disputed suggestions last month that she had been told about waterboarding having taken place.

She was the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee. She sat down for meetings with key intelligence officials. Everyone else said that waterboarding was discussed. Why is she trying to lie her way out of this... I have to say this though, she makes an eloquent case for term limits...
