NSA Spying: What Did Pelosi Know?

By Ray McGovern
October 15, 2007


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has admitted knowing for several years about the Bush administration’s eavesdropping on Americans without a court warrant. She said she was briefed on it when she was ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. But was she told that the illegal surveillance began well before 9/11?


Referring to her briefing in an apologia-sans-apology Washington Post op-ed on Jan. 15, 2006, she wrote: “This is how I came to be informed of President Bush’s authorization for the NSA to conduct certain types of surveillance.”

................

Either way you were woefully derelict in your duty. Either they told you or they didn’t. Either way you come off as no leader.

Time to fish or cut bait. Assuming the Bush regime did not inform you regarding eavesdropping on Americans before 9/11, do not any longer cover up for the White House. Rather, these crimes demand impeachment.

If they did keep you fully informed and, out of obeisance to the executive branch you acquiesced and said nothing, you should lay down your duties as House leader, examine your conscience, and consider resigning.

1. kicked and recommended

for the Truth, damnit! :patriot:

I am sick to death of lies and obfuscation.

I am sick of government treating the citizens who pay the bills as though they were criminals.

I am sick of spin and triangulation.

How the hell do we expect to restore our republic with no opposition to those would would have us become a Theocracy?

Nance, if you don't have the courage to move forward, please get off the stage and make room for someone who does.

5. The way the far left beats up Pelosi reminds me of

the way we used to go after Gingrich, that fat ass from Chicago-what's his name, etc...

These far lefties just do such a wonderful job for the Republic party. I'm starting to wonder how many of these far left self-styled "pundits" are financed by right wing think tanks.

6. party has nothing to do with it.. it's about the people, and about the truth

I want honesty in government, and I want the government to stop thinking that it owns my a**, that's all.

9. Who wants uncorrupt elected officials, anyway?

Democracy is overrated, apparently. We should just trust that our "betters" have our interests at heart, eh?

Thanks for chiming in for the toe-the-party-line faction. :puke:

3. so the 'opposition' leader is complicit in the crimes? if true pelosi must go.

[Canuckistanian]

4. Several years? Even before the Dec. 2005 revelations?

If so, then she REALLY needs to resign. This goes BEYOND acquiescence and borders on COMPLICITY IN A FELONY.
