The Price Of Pelosi's Career*

It seems there is nothing Democrats will not do to save Nancy Pelosi's career.

First it was the push to label the CIA as a den of liars for failing to brief her on waterboarding. As it turns out, she was briefed along with everyone else in Congress that cared to listen.

And then she asserted that the CIA lied to Congress about a covert operations program that never got off the ground, though this seems an asinine point as these efforts were reportedly aimed at counterterrorism. Truth be told, Congress was actually briefed and Director Panetta has also posited that nothing illegal was done.

How many lies will be told to cover up earlier lies? No one knows, but it should be obvious by now that the Democrat's push to target publicly the intelligence agency charged with protecting American lives is despicable.
