Dr. Charles Krauthammer produces yet another excellent point of clarity in the repulsively partisan posturing that has devolved into the "torture debate".
Democrat leaders knew of the enhanced interrogation techniques. Not only did they not object, they encouraged the CIA to continue effectively protecting the nation from the continued threats from groups such as al-Qaeda.
Pelosi's distinction between past and present, is as Krauthammer so succinctly puts it, "Clintonian in its parsing..." - and that such a distinction actually proves Pelosi's complicity in the very course of action she now pretends outrage over.
The self rightous condemnation is by Pelosi and her ilk is, "not just cowardly but hollow."
Indeed....
