Pelosi: I'm Not Talking About CIA Anymore

Share

(Newser) – Don't look for Nancy Pelosi to shed any more light on what she may or may not have known about the CIA’s interrogations. At a press conference today—her first since she accusedthe agency of misleading her and Congress—the House speaker clammed up, reports the Hill. “I have made the statement I am going to make,” she said. “I stand by my comments.”

Our #3 leader. folks, nobody knows for sure what she knew or didn't know BUT she iaccused the cia of misleading then of lying to her. we have an absolute right to know the whole story and an independent investigation would clear it up once and for all. why did the investigation get shot down. you would think that if it was you and you were telling the truth...that you would be demanding an investigation. sorry, it sure looks like she "misspoke" and now wants everyone to take her at her word.
