Pelosi Truth Deficit

We joke about politicians lying anytime their lips are moving. Even so, there should be some sort of penalty for bald-faced fibbing.

Assuming the document described here is legitimate and accurate, it would appear the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi straight out lied about what she knew (about waterboarding) and when she knew it. Someone in the public eye needs to stand up, point a finger, and ask in the famous words of Joseph Welch, "Have you left no sense of decency?"

Nobody bothers to ask this question because the answer is sadly self-evident.
