Doesn't matter what Leon Panetta says, the U.S. committed war crimes and some people are lying
May 15, 2009-

Pelosi responds to Panetta comments

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded Friday to CIA Director Leon Panetta's public disagreement with her charge that she was misled by the agency on the use of waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques.

"We all share great respect for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community who are deeply committed to the safety and security of the American people," she said in a statement issued by her office. "My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration did not appropriately inform Congress is separate from my respect for those in the intelligence community who work to keep our country safe.

"What is important now is to be united in our commitment to ensuring the security of our country; that, and how Congress exercises its oversight responsibilities, will continue to be my focus as we move forward."


The U.S. committed war crimes and now some are blatantly lying to cover their asses. (updated)

1. Don't know why they bother. Not like we'll prosecute or anything.
