Speaker Pelosi, who has come under attack for comments that the CIA misled Congress regarding torture has the Republicans in a tizzy. Basically what they are attempting to do is dodge their own involvement, they are essentially saying "we endoresed the use of torture but you lied". This knee jerk reaction has some, like Pete King, Republican of Long Island is calling for her to step down, and Steve King, Republican of Iowa wants her ousted permanetly. I would like to see what Nancy Pelosi knew. However, it is believable she was in fact misled by the CIA and the Bush Admin. Former Governor Jesse Ventura remarked on Fox, that "had we not tortured, we wouldn't even be having this conversation."While many Republicans obviously feeling heat over possible prosecutions of Bush Admin. officials, their tactic is "Hey look at Nancy Pelosi!", and the House rejected a probe into the Speaker's allegations. Also, keep in mind, not one Democrat has come out against her, and a few Republicans confirmed her statements.
