Nancy Pelosi Clams Up

"Video: Pelosi: Nothing More to Say on CIA Lying Charge" - The Associated Press

Realizing she’s said too much, gone too far, with public and press sentiment against her in CIAgate, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declined to state anything more regarding the Bush torture policies she knew of and kept quite about, in violation of the Constitution.

During the course of Bush's presidency, a new American Government came to light that world leaders and nations did not like, as scores of international laws were broken, contradicting past conduct the globe had come to expect from America.

The Bush administration got nasty and dirty with its enemies in the nation and around the world, muddying America’s image in the area of politics, human rights and general humanity, in ways that left the domestic and international community aghast.

Pelosi and other long time members of Congress, on both sides of the aisles, failed in an extraordinary manner as well. They saw many, terrible human rights abuses and abuses of so-called power and looked the other way, when they were obligated under the Constitution to bring such heinous conduct to a rapid close.

They failed the nation and the world and history will never forget them for that. It shall be remembered as the time Congress let crime and cowardice take over and it precipitated America’s fall.

The sad part is, there is so much more misconduct talked about privately in political circles, both domestic and international, that has yet to be revealed – items that members of the U.S. Congress such as Pelosi have known about and kept silent regarding, to the detriment of America and the world.

I think Pelosi and some of her fellow members of Congress, who have been apart of it for sometime and complicit in crimes, should resign.

America fell during your watch, sustaining terrible damage that was preventable. Several other nations sustained serious damage as well. In light of this, you should not be in office.

Saturday, May 23, 2009 - In her first news conference since accusing the CIA of lying to her about the use of harsh interrogation techniques, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday refused to answer questions on the controversy, telling reporters only that she stands by her earlier statements.

Flanked by fellow House Democratic leaders, Mrs. Pelosi spent 23 minutes at a pre-recess press briefing recounting the party's accomplishments so far this year, took just five minutes of questions, and declared out-of-bounds any inquiries on her confrontation with the CIA.

"I have made the statement that I'm going to make on this," Mrs. Pelosi said. "What we are doing is staying on our course and not getting distracted from it."

The highly anticipated news briefing came amid Republican calls to investigate Mrs. Pelosi's assertion that the CIA mislead her when she was briefed in September 2002 about so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding, which the Obama administration has deemed torture…
