Nancy Pelosi

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to deny her role in Torturegate, with officials now calling for an inquiry. She initially stated she didn't know about it, though documents state otherwise.

No, no no, Nancy! I believe the term that is used to investigators when one is lying in such circumstances is, "I have no recollection." You know, like in the movie "Clear and Present Danger."

House No. 2: Explore Pelosi interrogation briefing

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House majority leader reluctantly agreed Tuesday that congressional hearings should investigate Speaker Nancy Pelosi's assertion that she wasn't informed, more than six years ago, that harsh interrogation methods were used on an al-Qaida leader.

Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called Republican challenges to Pelosi's assertion a diversion from the real question of whether the Bush administration tortured terrorist suspects. Nonetheless, he acknowledged the controversy should be resolved.
