"They'd Rather Make Sport Of A CA Liberal Than Talk About Fine Details Of Pro-Torture Policies"
All the talk's on Pelosi, not torture
In our opinion

.............

Given the Republican-led kafuffle over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's torture briefings, one might believe being told about torture was as serious as carrying it out, if not more so.

Take none of this as a defense of Pelosi, a politician, who like most is not above putting the best possible shine on otherwise unsavory facts. We don't fully know what the congresswoman from San Francisco was or was not told during briefings seven years ago. Further, it's not clear what any member of Congress, even those with high security clearances, could do with information deemed top-secret by a White House.

What we know is Bush officials and their allies prefer a conversation about Pelosi, who neither authored torture directives nor carried them out.

They'd rather make sport of a California liberal than talk about the fine details of pro-torture policies.

3. Pot and Kettle scream 'Pan knew we were black, said NOTHING!'
You'd think Pelosi was the one who came up with the idea, signed the papers authorizing it, and was still campaigning in favor of keeping the United States of America in the torture business.

4. it's like a Bank robbers defence..'the F'n teller saw me walk into to the bank ..' i am ashamed to
be an American, that the Fascists are allowed to flaunt lies to protect their sorry criminal ass's. without comment by the "Fly'n Monkey Script Readers on all the Reich Wing Propaganda Media machines, it is pathetic and part of a RICO violation considering how much Chaney and other NeoCons made off the Fake War they started.. now the crimes they committed because of their apparent Psycho-Pathological predispositions are successfully being blamed on others..

it is Blatantly obvious Palosi was set up to be the scape goat, along with other Democrats and the Media by default knows its Ques to defend their own.. i am sure the scripts were already printed up years ago.
