3. Wait -- isn't Judicial Watch a right wing front group?

5. Yes it is a right wing group.

Just the repukes obfuscating on torture. Even if she knew the truth and spoke out she would have been labeled a traitor.

8. Right. Nancy Pelosi didn't direct this policy from the House. nt

[Rage for Order]

4. Probably trying to determine who was telling the truth about this:

"My statement is clear, and let me read it again, let me read it again (because I can't remember what I said and I don't want to get caught in a lie on camera)...I'm sorry I have to find the page"

7. Very Glad to hear it

We needed some good news

9. Judicial Watch is one of those front groups like "Freedom's Watch".

Their aim isn't to shed light on torture but to attack Nancy Pelosi.
