Pelosi Says She Was Never Briefed ‘About The Secret Memos’ Authorizing CIA Torture.

From Thinkprogress:

Earlier this week, after the New York Times revealed that the Bush administration gave the CIA secret approval in 2005 to use harsh interrogation techniques, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino asserted that members of Congress had been “fully briefed” on the secret opinions.

On Fox News Sunday today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who as minority leader in 2005 would have been informed of the most highly classified information, said that she had not been briefed “about the secret memos” in 2005:

CHRIS WALLACE: You were never briefed about these secret memos in 2005?

NANCY PELOSI: No, not about the secret memos.

No one has been given the secret information that the White House has. Cheney needs to keep it secret so the CIA wont be charged with War Crimes by the UN. The US has been doing torture from day one of the invasion and the former Attorney General Gonzales help set it up. Now the victims have the medical reports to prove it. Yes the White House will lie until their out of office but the CIA agents who did the torture will be on their own and will have to go to trial when the charges come out by the United Nations.
