Comment: This is ALL about politics!  Speaker Pelosi has been on a mission to embarrass and prosecute former Bush administration officials and has since been caught up in the entire mess! 

She first denied she had any knowledge of waterboarding which has changed since to she felt she could not change the Bush policy without a new President & Congress!  Be careful what you wish for Madam Speaker, you could become collateral damage!
