10. She probably was but it's just misdirection by the people who actually made the policy
They think if they implicate a high profile Dem or two in the torutre policy we can stop any investigation into it or prosecution for it.

So they've adopted sort of a shotgun approach. Last night I heard some asswipe republican senator going on and on about the fact that renditions had taken place during the Clinton administration and threatening tit for tat if the AG didn't quelch any investigation of the bush cheney gang.

They're scared. And they're desperate. So they're calling in all their chits with the media and pointing fingers everywhere.

But I don't think it' going to succeed. There will be prosecutions whether here in the US or elsewhere. And high US officials will end up convicted as international war criminals. And if Pelosi gets caught up in the net, c'est la vie. She should have had the guts to expose it. She would be a minor player at best in the whole drama.
