2. You shouldnt.
I dont believe anything the CIA says. But why should I believe Nancy Pelosi? I dont think any of them are telling the truth.

4. I don't believe her, either...
But it seems everyone is putting this at Pelosi's feet.

Not cool.

Asking her to resign for saying something that is probably accurate? Nope.

5. Yeah its a big distraction.
Sure she lied I dont doubt that they all lied. Thats what they get paid to do. But focusing on her just takes everyones attention away from the people responsible.

6. Why should I believe that
Cheney allowed the CIA to give truthful briefings to any Democrats?

I don't. I'm sure everything was cherry picked and approved by Cheney and these 'briefings' consisted only of what he wanted them to know.

9. I know, right?
Who would ever possibly believe that an organization whose sole mission is to do things covertly might ever actually try to mislead someone?! I mean, it's their job to mislead and all, but they wouldn't mislead us!

:sarcasm:

10. Spies and lies, it's what they do.
Makes them untrustworthy, but they are needed to a certain extent. We know they lied us into this war at the behest of Cheney, I have no problem believing that they hid their criminal acts from Pelosi and other Democrats. Again it's what they do.

11. I do believe they lied about the briefing.
OTOH, I think Ms Pelosi should have done MUCH more about it when she found out about it 12 months later - which was still more than FIVE YEARS AGO.

They have the illness - but she's been an enabler.
