MIS-SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE DEPARTMENT

PELOSI REISSUES DENIAL OF WATERBOARDING KNOWLEDGE

PAPER TRAIL SHOWS SHE WAS IN THE KNOW

CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING THAT TRUTH COMMISH WILL ACTUALLY SHOW THE TRUTH

     Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi felt compelled to issue yet another clarification regarding what she knew about the interrogation methods used on terrorist suspects and when she knew them.

   Pelosi issued yet another press release to the media insisting she was not completely aware of the scope of the methods used, including waterboarding.

    After calling for a 'truth commission' to persecute former Bush-era functionaries, the Justice Department released formerly classified memos detailing both the range of interrogation methods and notes about explanatory meetings conducted to Congressional committee members in which they were briefed about the treatment of prisoners.

   Pelosi has insisted that she was privy to only one meeting where the subject was discussed and that she was unaware that waterboarding was one of the methods used. 

   Yet memos indicate that she was briefed numerous times and that it was made clear what techniques would be used and why. 

    Party insiders speculate that Pelosi is desperate to distance herself from the issue now that the President has disapproved.
