Democratic Congressmen Flee When Asked about Pelosi and CIA
CNSNews.com) - When asked by CNSNews.com to comment on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Claif.) statement at her press conference last week that the CIA “misleads†Congress “all the time," two Democratic congressmen briskly walked away declining to answer. One of the two--thinking better of it--quickly returned to say that he believes in the speaker..
A third Democrat said he did know who was right on the quesion, but that he believes Pelosi is an effective leader.
Republicans were critical of Pelosi, with Rep. Trent Franks (R.-Ariz.) saying he thinks Pelosi should resign if the facts show she did not tell the truth about the CIA.
It was like shining a bright light on a cockroach. Watch 'em scatter.

Pelosi: Nothing more to say on her CIA allegation
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday she won't talk any more about her charge that the CIA lied in 2002 about using waterboarding on terrorism suspects.
"I have made the statement that I'm going to make on this," she told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference. "I don't have anything more to say about it. I stand by my comment."
But Republicans aren't letting this one slide.
Ken Spain, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, issued a statement after the news conference calling Pelosi a political liability to the Democratic party.
"Her obsession with the previous administration and her disdain for America's intelligence officials has reduced her to cheerleader status within the far left wing of her party and a distraction to the substantive debate over how to best move our economy forward," said Spain.
Earlier this month, Pelosi told reporters that she had not been told that waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects, even though it had been. When asked whether she was accusing the CIA of lying to her, she said "yes."
Well, sanfranan can stop answering, but reporters are gonna keep asking anyway. :-) :fuelfire:
