Realistically, Nancy Pelosi has put herself into an impossible position because either:

1. The CIA mislead her, which is an impossible accusation to prove and any attempt to do so will (likely) result in her looking paranoid; and she would also make a lot of powerful enemies in the process.
2. Nancy Pelosi is incompetent being that she was given briefings and was unwilling to pay attention or unable to understand them.
3. Nancy Pelosi is lying.

 

 

Why doesn't she just say the Republicans ordered her not to talk about it because of the negative PR it would bring them especiallly with George W.'s reelection campaign not being that far off and that there was a cabal of secrecy during the Bush years, so she just made the best decision that was right for her party at the time and that proved to be the best decision later on when Barak was elected?

Right ...

An extremely partisan Democrat leader would stay quiet about something that would have a negative impact on a Bush re-election simply because George W. Bush asked her to ... Did he say it nicely and finsh with "Pretty please, with sugar on top"?

The reason why it is an issue that Nancy Pelosi knew about the waterboarding a long time ago was that she was trying to use it in such a politically partisan way today. It would be a lot like a republican senator who voted for the stimulus bill today who was amazingly critical of Barack Obama in 6 years because he started to run up such high deficits.
