Sticking to the facts... "According to the Pelosi confidant". Seriously? Is this what you call a "fact"? You cannot show me, in all the links and documents and quotes, where it is stated that Pelosi was told water boarding was going to be used.
Now, as to common sense. It does seem that someone would have discussed that "they" were told of this with her. If so, this should explain her actions, to a rational person:
BushCo didn't explain themselves to the Repubs. They damn sure wouldn't be held accountable to the Dems. This is a non issue, a distraction. If Pelosi has filed a report against Bush's torture plans what do you think would have happened? Nothing. Bush and Cheney didn't change their course... for anyone!
What is important here is "who" authorized the torture. Nothing else.
Cheney is getting nervous that his neck is going to be on the chopping block so, he's coming out doing his Colonel Nathan R. Jessip impersonation. "How dare you question the manner of the protection that I provide!" He's going down just like Jessip did. If not legally, then politically by being exposed as the person who forced Americans to torture prisoners.
Watch Cheney squirm. :mrgreen:
The only one I see squirming is you and your fellow apologists. But, it is fun to watch.
