Should be interesting to see how this little saga plays out. I love her excuse for not acting:

But Pelosi defended her own lack of action on the issue, saying her focus at the time was on wresting congressional control from Republicans so her party could change course.

"No letter could change the policy. It was clear we had to change the leadership in Congress and in the White House. That was my job - the Congress part," Pelosi said.

How is it all that useful for the GOP to claim, "But you were for torture too."

I hate how most everyone wants to avoid the actual subject, and instead try to create a circus freakshow.

You of all people should understand the thrill of pointing out someone else's hypocrisy.

Pelosi is lying to save her own political career. This really isn't a surprise.

No kidding. This is simple. If she approved torture, she needs to go too.
