Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good and Good Evil

An interesting read from another website.
Obama campaigned on a promise of not bringing the same old politics to Washington. He told America that it is time for a change, and we need to look forward and not backward. With intense debate and argument taking place over the issue of alleged “torture” by the Bush administration, it seems that the Obama administration is backpedaling on its promise to look forward, and the new politics look a lot like the old politics.
Leading the charge on on this witch hunt is Nancy Pelosi who claims she was never informed that waterboarding would be used as a method to interrogate the captured masterminds of the September 11th attacks. This statement of course is in direct opposition to an article written by the Washington Post in December of 2007. Once the information was made public that clearly shows she was present when the CIA demonstrated the technique, she has now floundered around stating that she knew that they “could” use the technique, but was not informed that they “would” use the technique.
What kind of logic is that? She was present as part of a bipartisan Congressional committee during a demonstration by the CIA that outlined the plans they had to use against the most horrible of terror offenders. The reason the CIA had this show and tell was to get the approval from this bipartisan committee that held the purse strings and the authority to allow them to proceed! Clearly if Pelosi was so outraged by this, her time to speak was right then. However, reports of many in the room state that was far from the tenor in the room. In fact most present in the meetings questioned if the described techniques would be enough!
So it seems that this investigation has nothing to do with the high and mighty morals of the left against torture. Rather this stinks of nothing more than another way for the Democrats to criminalize political opponents for their own gain.
