When you read the news that Pelosi had accused the CIA of lying or misleading the congress what did you think?

Did you notice that the media only focused on the torture aspect of what she said?

Did you notice that the conveniently did not focus on the fact that Pelosi specifically stated that the CIA misled congress on the war with Iraq?

Did you notice that Pelosi's statements before this allegation are inconsistent?

Did you notice Pelosi took impeachment of Bush off the table after being appointed to Speaker of the House?

Did you notice the Obama is against a truth commission?

Did you notice, that the CIA did not release documents to the public that would prove how effective torture really is?

Did you notice that most in our government and media always want to move forward, not inspect their past decisions under a microscope?

Did you notice you as an individual you do not get this luxury, and have to face any allegation of wrongdoing charged against you in life?

Did you notice that our constitution is set up to have our representatives and government under the most speculation?

Did you notice that the GOP rushed to the defense of the CIA?

Did you notice that the MSM put on all their experts to yell at each other about various things regarding this incident?

Did you notice the MSM are publicly speculating both parties are equally involved and better to just squash this whole thing right in front of you without ever investigating it?

Did you notice that none of this matters, that none of the real issues are being discussed?

I smell conspiracy cover up...and finally someone had the guts to state what a lot have speculated. Immediately, creditability is called into question by everyone except those that support a investigation. I say investigate. What say you?

I agree she is trying to cover her butt. And I don't trust her one iota, as I voted for Democrats in '06 because they promised to impeach Bush. then Ms. Pelosi took that 'off the table'. I guess the whole point here, we've all known liars. At some point though the liar has true information that once backed into a corner will divulge that information to make themselves look good. This is my only contention that we may be missing the most important part.

And for the record I'm one of those dreaded Republicans...but I don't certainly follow the party line on every issue. I supported Ron Paul in the primaries. So how can it be that we don't care to investigate lies, whether Pelosi or the CIA, or the Bush administration. I guess the day I won't care anymore is the day I have a "Stop the Investigation" card I can pull out to stop any allegation on me from proceeding.

Hiya

Why do you think she took impeaching Bush/charging the Bush Admin with criminal charges off the table? My theory is that the reason is connected to the reason why she is trying to make herself out to be the victim and the CIA out to be liars: if Bush went down something connecting them would have taken her down, too.

Just my theory, of course, but I'm interested in hearing what you may think.

I'm in 100% agreement with you on this. I think she is just as much implicated as they are. This is why I say investigate everyone. Investigate Pelosi let's start there...if her story holds water then lets dive into the rabbit hole of lies.

There's a very simple reason they can't impeach Bush or have Nancy brought up on any sort of charges or investigations.

If they do, even one of these commissions, even one of these investigations, then they open a precedent, and anybody who wants to investigate anything during the Bush era, including torture, but most importantly 9/11 would have the door wide open for them.

They could not be able to suppress those if they allow even one to go forward, that's the American way. Don't do it at all, unless you wanna go all the way, that's how it is with these people.

Furthermore, I am sure she's not the only one that's tied into this, she would have multiple other members of Congress and the House under investigation in order to help herself, which would inevitably lead over to old operators and handlers of the Bush Administration.

Much too sticky for Obama to get his hands into something like this, not only would it prove to be a TREMENDOUS hassle and huge chunk of his time during his first term, it would also mean a loss of confidence in America abroad and perhaps more reason for innocent lives to be lost in the inevitable cover up.

That's just my humble opinion.

I have to point out that before an election, most candidates will promise all sorts of things to get you to vote for them and then after being elected, suddenly realize they just can't keep those promises, so, your proven system is pretty much a joke.
They need to be held responsable AFTER the election, when they screw up.
Pelosi is trying desperately to cover her ass. It's almost comic. Unfortunately, I think the MSM will help this little faux pas slide under the rug...as usual.

A truth commision won't find anything.

The government is going to hire a company to investigate the government? Do you really think that is going to work?

We will see a dog and pony show and nobody will be found guilty of wrong doing.
