Reply #2: Sister, one part of this Op is incorrect: [View All]

Even Democrats said privately afterwards that Pelosi had stumbled. Her deputy, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, had already said earlier in the week that "the facts need to be on the table" about what Pelosi and others in Congress knew about torture, but by Thursday, he was trying to brush the whole issue off as a distraction. Former Sen. Bob Graham, a Florida Democrat who was the chairman of the Senate intelligence committee in 2002, said the CIA's record of the briefings they gave Congress was inaccurate. But he could only indirectly defend Pelosi, since he didn't have written records of what the agency told lawmakers.

What Bob Graham said, on video is that the briefings described by the CIA DID NOT HAPPEN. They named four days of briefings,which did not happen. nothing indirect about that.
And I thought what he said about Pelosi was brilliant: Pelosi'
s knowledge is not the issue. The issue is: Did we torture, and if so what are the consequences of that?
He was not trying to "defend Pelosi".

So, interesting Op, but a little bit skewed...
