Nancy Pelosi continues parsing her denial of never being told about waterboarding and now claims the CIA lied. Those briefings gave me inaccurate and incomplete information.
Mike Soraghan and Jared Allen report Pelosi now claims that in a September 2002 briefing she was specifically told waterboarding was not being used on detainees:
The question for Pelosi remains: What did she know about the enhanced interrogation techniques, and when did she know it?
The Speaker has precious little credibility left concerning waterboarding. For weeks, Pelosi insisted she wasn't briefed about waterboarding. Then after a declassified report last week suggested otherwise, Pelosi claimed she pulled a John Kerry-like nuance and claimed she wasn't told that waterboarding was actually used. Now, after her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, confirmed that Pelosi was told in February 2003 that waterboarding was actually used on CIA detainee Abu Zubaydah, she claims the CIA lied.
As the following video demonstrates, if Pelosi truly objected to waterboarding, she was in a position to do something about it:
There is no record of Pelosi objecting to or taking action to prevent waterboarding until after the CIA stopped using the interrogation technique.
