What Did She Know And When Did She Know It?

Watching a vicious partisan opportunist like Nancy Pelosi get caught out brazenly lying about her knowledge of and assent to the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA under the Bush administration, after the last six years of the political left’s sanctimonious moral posturing with respect to “torture,” is deeply, deeply satisfying.
Whatever the merits of waterboarding, it takes a special kind of hack to spend the better part of a decade publicly complaining about the immorality of a given policy despite having been briefed on the particulars at the outset, and despite having failed to object at that time. This loathsome woman tacitly approved of what the administration was doing until she discovered that political hay could be made of it, whereupon she reflexively played to her base. May the same wolves she didn’t hesitate throwing George W. Bush to, now turn their jaws on her.
