Nancy Pelosi Not Honest? Really?

By Semperpapa

No way, I said, as I read the statements of former CIA agent Jose Rodriguez. There is no way I am going to believe that someone so ethical, honest and whatever else like Pelosi would actually lie about anything.

OK, time to turn sarcasm off.

According to Rodriguez, and a pile of documentation backing his story up, the former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had been briefed about the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the years following the September 11, 2001 attacks, on captured terrorists, for the purpose of gaining information on future attacks against our nation.

Repeatedly, Pelosi has rejected the insinuations that she had any knowledge of such enhanced interrogations techniques, stating that she would have not stand for torture. The truth of the matter is that in those dark days following the 9-11 attacks, every single politician was running scared, and for many reasons.

The high profile nature of these folks job and the fact tat they are always so ready and happy to place their faces in front of a camera or microphone make them targets for any follower of the religion of peace.
Moreover, being seen as supporters of what misguided progressive idiots call torture makes them targets for the ultra leftist fringe of unwashed bottom feeders, especially at a time when the Obama regime was unleashing the DoJ dogs against CIA operatives connected to Guantanamo.

Nancy Pelosi, well aware of the truth and of documentation proving it, went on record few years back denouncing at first any knowledge of such tortures occurring and later that she had been assured waterboarding was not being used. On both accounts, according to Rodriguez, the California congresswoman is at best failing to properly remembering or at worst being untruthful.

So what it really comes down to is credibility of two individuals: Rodriguez or Pelosi.

Well, I am going to be as diplomatic as I possibly can, but my bet is definitely on Rodriguez.
There is no way in hell that I would believe the word of a seasoned, corrupted, power hungry political beast like Pelosi over that of a CIA operative who has been fighting an unknown and dangerous war for the safety of America. This does not mean that I have blind faith in everything that Mr. Rodriguez says, after all I don't know the man, but in a contrast with trusting the ugly witch of the West or him, he wins hands down.

And couple of words about torturing.
I am sorry to disagree with Leslie Stahl about the Orwellian actions taken by CIA interrogators upon the terrorist. During her interview of Jose Rodriguez, the CBS dimwit could not mask her horror at the admission from Rodriguez that they had given Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the dietary supplement Ensure (a high vitamin, high protein drink used in hospitals to give cancer patients dietary supplements they would not get otherwise). Stahl called it "dietary manipulation" and America does not do that! (Of course unless you are Mooochelle Obama and you want to tell 300 million people what to eat, but I digress).
As I recover from from the horror of hearing that the operational mastermind of the 9-11 attacks had been forced to drink a dietary concoction, I became even more enraged by the fact that it was in part my tax money that paid for those drinks.
Hey, if I have to pay for torture of these sub-humans, I want to see fingernails ripped off, electrodes attached to genitals, power drill action.

Now that's good old fashion torture! Definitely nothing that the elitist morons like Pelosi or Stahl would know if it smacked them in the face.
We the People, on the other hand, have had to endure two years of looking at Pelosi ugly face as third in line to the Presidency: we KNOW what torture is.

Just my thoughts!
