House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is not taking Speaker Pelosi’s b.s. sitting down. He’s asking the Obama administration to release CIA notes taken during the 2002 Congressional briefing session that Pelosi is having difficulty remembering properly.
Boehner is backing efforts by Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the ranking member on the House intelligence committee, to release agency’s records of meetings with Congressional members from both parties.
The GOP is hoping to spotlight the fact that Pelosi and other Democrats raised few objections when told about details of the Bush administration “enhanced interrogations” of terror suspects.
“Congress and the American people deserve a full and complete set of facts about what information was yielded by CIA’s interrogation program, and they deserve to know which of their representatives in Congress were briefed about these techniques and the extent of those briefings,” says Boehner, backing Hoekstra’s letter to DNI Dennis Blair.
Pelosi’s excuse for going along with the interrogations is that she wasn’t told that they were actually going to be used. Republican House members Boehner and Hoekstra think that the airing of these memos might straighten out her confusion.

It won’t matter. Most folks get their news from the MSM. All of those “other” news and blogsites just have an “agenda so you can’t trust what they say” (ex-girlfriend).

I have watched the MSM go farther and farther and farther out to ignore Liberals, gaffes, blunders and most especially their CRIMES! Bill Bennet was right in The Death of Outrage that the tacit acceptance of the public after Clinton got away with all he got away; has with changed social compact in the public trust that no one was above the law in this country. The precedant was reaffirmed after Richard Nixon resigned rather than continue to erode public confidence in our institutions. Bill Clinton didn’t give a shit, and what he got away with (besides Monic, which was the least of it all) he finally outdid himself with in the last three days in office; feverishingly writing pardons for Mafiosi Kingpins, High Level Drug Lords, Bank fraud executives, embezzlers, businessmen who sacked their companies and flew the coop but now couldn’t have tea and crumpets by the pool in Bverly Hills anymore. And people the Devil doesn’t even want in Hell. They’re all on an island somewhere making sure Bill gets plenty of booty to keep him amused.
