Tortured denials

First of all the term torture is used by liberals entirely too liberally. Loud music, sleep deprivation, and even waterboarding are not torture in the classic and visceral sense the word is meant to convey. But Pelosi and the democrats, in their utter dishonesty, have painted themselves into a torturous corner.

As Karl Rove explains, Nancy Pelosi is an accomplice to ‘torture’ by her own words. She was fully informed on the use of ‘enhanced interrogation’ techniques that she and her Democrat cronies then tried to use as a political cudgel to smear the Bush administration as torturers and criminals. The problem is that Pelosi and the Democrats were in the loop the entire time. Not only that but they put their stamp of approval on it in person by their implicit and explicit affirmation and encouragement to do more.

What is even more delicious is that all the self-righteous posturing by the One, in depicting Bush and his administration as bloodthirsty and lawless torturers for their war on terror policies, such as Guantanamo, enhanced interogation, and indefinite detention have now had to quietly affirm all these policies as useful and even necessary for national security.

The past eight years of outright lies and slander coming from Democrats and Pelosi in particular seem to be tripping her up yet again. But of course every one else is a liar in her world. The blame is always somewhere else.

QUESTION: Madam Speaker, just to be clear, you’re accusing the CIA of lying to you in September of 2002?

PELOSI: Yes, misleading the Congress of the United States, misleading the Congress of the United States. I am.  ~gatewaypundit.blogspot.com
