I am tired of the double speak from Nancy Pelosi.
She continues to claim that the Bush administration used illegal torture methods to get information from terrorists and that the CIA lied to her about it. She claims that she was never briefed (only informed) and would not have approved of such "torture" methods to get information. But others including CIA Director Panetta say she knew.
The policy of the Bush administration was to use water boarding to get information from terrorists. It is non-lethal and that does not damage them physically. The process was supervisor by medical to help insure that terrorists were not hurt.
Yet, liberals claim that this is inhuman. My junior high physical education classes were worse than that yet I still had to go through them!
When you get down to the facts, the truth is the Clinton administration did things far worse than the Bush administration. Several key members of the Obama administration were part of Clinton administration that approved capturing terrorists in foreign countries and sending them to other countries.
These countries used real torture methods that would maim or possibly kill the terrorists. If their were medical staff present, they were probably administering drugs to help the interrogation.
The Clinton administration knew exactly what was going to happen to them. (And the worst part is that we had to trust these countries that they gave us the correct intelligence.) They did not want to get their hands dirty by getting the intelligence themselves.
The current administration continues to treat those who disrespect the rights of other (i.e. terrorists and convicted felons) better than law-abiding citizens.
It puts good people at risk of really getting hurt.
