As first reported by The Washington Post back in December 2007, a group of lawmakers, including Pelosi, "was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk."
"Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding. ... no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said."

In the same Post article, one U.S. official present during the early briefings stated:
"[T]here was no objecting, no hand-wringing. The attitude was, 'We don't care what you do to those guys as long as you get the information you need to protect the American people.' "
Yet Pelosi - who is now second in the Presidential line of succession - continues to try to weasel her way out of public scrutiny as SHE PUTS POLITICS AHEAD OF OUR NATION'S SECURITY.
Newt Gingrich says: Pelosi 'Lied,' 'Despicable,' 'Dishonest,' 'Vicious,' 'Trivial'
