As a realist, regardless of who said what Pelosi said, don't you think it is really, really stupid to say the CIA lied to you? Accusing the CIA of something they most likely didn't do is not a good way to keep living as normally as possible. I can't believe she would say that to keep face with the press-- oh, yes I can.
She can't admit that she knew about water-boarding in 2002 because then her followers would ask why she didn't say anything about it until a few years ago. In reality, she might have had a chance of reelection for the admittance of her honesty of knowing and keeping her mouth shut in a Post- 9/11 world. Remember the way things were in 2002, she would never have been reelected that year if she came out against the torture of terrorists.
She is an idiot for saying the CIA lied to her. In the last year, Pelosi has been ripped for having private jet rides for government visits, for saying the Pope is inconsistent with his stance on abortion (he got her good, too), and for so many other things in all this TARP business. Maybe keeping her mouth shut would be a good way to get reelected again.
