Staff
By Kayleigh Harvey - Talk Radio News Service
During her weekly press conference today, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked whether or not she raised objections during her time on the House Intelligence Committee during a briefing on interrogation methods including water-boarding. Pelosi said, “It’s not appropriate for me to talk about what happens at briefings, it’s very interesting that people are talking so freely, but I can say this...we were not and I repeat, we were not told that water-boarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used. What they did tell us was that they had some, the office of legislative council opinions that they could be used...further if and when they would be used they would brief Congress at that time.”
