Americans Want The Truth About Torture

By Jonathan Bronstein, Talk Radio News Service

Jonathan Bronstein recounts the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) recent comments during her weekly press conference. Pelosi asserted that the CIA knowingly lied to her and mislead the American people, and she even called for the creation of a Truth Commission in order to illuminate the facts about the CIA's use of torture.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) responded to Pelosi's allegations by warning her and other Democrats to be careful what they wish for because the commission's discoveries may directly implicate them in the investigation.

But with each passing day the frustration of the American people mounts as they finally want to know what happened during the Bush Administration. (1:58)
