Gavin Newsom's Mariah Carey-like Interview Demand
Dainty House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has come under fire recently for allegedly knowing that the U.S. was committing illegal acts of torture, has refuted statements saying that the top Democrat knew that the Bush administration was using waterboarding on detainees in "the war on terror." (Also, waterboarding is the LEAST of what was done to prisoners of war. But we digress.) Pelosi told reporters, according to AP, "To the contrary ... we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used." Passing the buck, Pelosi went on to say, ""I wasn't briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it." But, come on, she totally knew what was gong on. Anyway, in an effort to divert all of this unwanted attention, Pelosi plans on setting up some sort of "truth commission" to "investigate the events in the Bush administration that led to the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques."

It's ridiculous, unpatriotic and insulting to suggest that the CIA or the Bush administration could ever mislead anyone, ever, at any time.
Pelosi must resign.
I believe she did know, and yes she should resign (and be brought up on any charges that other countries bring against Bush & Co). Who could possibly think she did not know? She was on her hands and knees in front of Bush for eight years, just like the majority of other pathetic Democrats who were too afraid of being labeled soft on terror to grow a backbone and stand up to the GOP.
Don't you find it remarkable that I knew and you knew and everyone else knew but members of Congress were supposedly left in the dark? It's just like the Iraq War - we all knew there were no WMDs there, except Congress. Christ, even SFist is a better source of intelligence than the god damned CIA.
