This how we win and move Pelosi off the news cycle
A Tsunami of congressmen/women doing what ex-Senator Graham and Sen. Wyden are doing key talking point is this....."We were kept in the dark" that simple..that truthful.


but we need a Tsunami of congressmen and women to flood the cable shows ..especially the house and it would be great if we got Chuck Hagel.

Pelosi deserves an admonishment but we do not deserved to be blackmailed by partisan republicans at the behest of bush torturers.

we need to frame the debate and quickly really look at the important big picture...bush/cheney tortured period and bullied it through pre abu garib.

bottom line we need more congressmen and women to do what Graham and Wyden are doing...now!

1. What I'm hearing on cable is exactly what I suspected.
"If they investigate the Republcans, they have to investigate the Democrats, too."

It's blackmail and very public blackmail.

3. Investigate it
all of it, this is beyond party politics, this is our country at stake here. It appears the GOP are still being bullies...call their bluff.

4. The crimes need to be investigated regardless of party
And the criminals need to be accountable.

13. This whole news cycle makes me want to vomit.
There was no torture AND Nancy Pelosi is dirty, too.

15. Isn't it amazing how Rove writes one article trashing Pelosi
and the Republicans act like they've got a leader again and rush to rubberstamp what he says.

Maybe Limbaugh will decide Rove is wielding too much power so he'll attack him...

5. Exactly! What we REALLY need is for the president to signal okay on prosecution.

6. he won't do that
he is to busy looking forward and not spending time on the divisive partisan past. I think he is stumbling down the road of war criminal for not looking into it. Until it grabs Mr. Obama by the nuts he will not look at it.

10. So appoint a Special Prosecutor. Period.
If these people are really clean, they should have no qualms about letting a Special Prosecutor look into it. Put it out in the daylight.

11. ... by Nancy starting hearings and getting to the bottom of it. (Assuming
she is telling the truth.)

14. They have to wait to be "invited" or they can call press conferences
Edited on Fri May-15-09 06:20 PM by SoCalDem
Those are their two choices.. We don't HAVE a "foxnews", so OUR folks are always "guests"..and are greeted by a barrage of 2 or 3 to one against them..and they have 1-3 minutes to make their case..after they leave, the hosts & future parade of right wing guests just pick their bones & laugh at them

16. To her credit, Pelosi is not bending to the blackmail. She is still calling
for a truth commission. The CIA goofed big time. Didn't they know Bob Graham kept a daily log? I knew that. Some inteeligence organization!

18. I think it is moving off the page now
with some push back from messengers ...but the major reason is the President and the John Huntsman appointment to be Ambassador to China...Sunday talking heads will eat that up..will be watching.

Congrats Mr. President masterful stroke and a win-win for Huntsman as well.
