Frankly, this is a waste of time for Republicans to focus on in the first place.

1) The average person knows that Congress sits inside their chambers and never gets directly involved in "executing the law."

2) The average person has no idea who Nancy Pelosi is.

The more the waterboarding story comes up, the more it hurts Republicans. There is a big difference between knowing about something during a time where the country was acting irrationally (to a large degree justified) and people were willing to support anything the President did and condemn his detractors and actually carrying out policy.

The Republicans would have criticized her even if SHE DID speak out about it. And its not like she was in a position of power to do anything. And hell, get on the CIA's bad side, and they might take you down like JFK.

I'm not saying she made the right decision, but I honestly don't think she had another one considering how freaked out the country was after 9/11.
