In any Washington scandal the issue is "What did she know and when did she know it?" It turns out Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) knew all about waterboarding and other "enhanced" interrogation techniques in use by the CIA as a result of a secret briefing in 2002.
This briefing was reported by the Washington Post in December of 2007. For her now to badmouth the people at Justice and the CIA accused of waterboarding's approval and use is extreme hypocrisy.
I like the way this title rhymes. Hat tip to Politico for the reminder of the 2007 WaPo article.
