(GOP Rep.) King: Pelosi is an ‘enemy of national security’
Source: Iowa Independant

Iowa Rep. Steve King is calling on Democrats to remove Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House because of her claim that CIA officials violated the law by failing to give her a ‘full briefing’ on the techniques used to interrogate detainees suspected of terrorism.

Speaking on Fox News, King said former speakers have been ousted “for much less,” and called Pelosi an “enemy of national security.”

“It is utter arrogance to think that she can roll back the truth,” King said. “We need to know when Nancy Pelosi was briefed… what did she know and when did she know it.”

King’s interviewer, Fox anchor Megyn Kelly, condemned Pelosi for attacking “patriots” who “helped prevent another attack on American soil.”

King agreed. “She is at some point going to have to face the truth,” he said.

15. Let's release another torture memo every time an R pie hole echoes this BS!
If they think this will work the way they want?? Think again.

This is starting to smell like a set up for their base,
to say that further releases are just to cover Pelosi!

17. I disagree. Gall and hubris are not courage and bravery
Then again, it all depends on how you define the giant gonads metaphor.

14. The GOP has opened fire from all sides in a coordinated ambush.
Watch and see how it is done.

No wonder the Democrats will never, ever be a match for them.

16. LOL!
“It is utter arrogance to think that she can roll back the truth,” King said. “We need to know when Nancy Pelosi was briefed… what did she know and when did she know it.”

But I thought we didn't torture! How arrogant of her to assume we did! You'd think we had pictures of such things or something. Rolling back the truth is something the GOP would never do! Not something a Prez who proudly served his entire Nat Guard term of duty would never do. No Repug in power would ever claim Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 if they knew it was false. Or put a roll back of the truth in the SOTU... or.... or...

We need to know 1st, what Cheney & Bush knew, and when they knew it, THEN we can go after the people not in power at the time.

I love statements like Pelosi is the enemy.... the ENEMY I tell you of National Security! That's right, she is AGAINST national security. She doesn't want America to be secure nationally! She wants, apparently, for there to be no Army, Navy, Marines or Airforce. Nancy will giggle with delight when anyone can just come in here and take over. That's right! Believe it!

18. Odd that King exhibits no curiosity about what Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Condi, ,Powell, et al knew and
when they knew it.

Partisan crap about torture is crap, no matter which side it comes from.

19. I'm so tired of hearing Bush kept U.S. safe from another terrorist attack on the homeland since 9/11
What Bush/Cheney have allowed to go on 24/7 in Appalachia is TOXIC TERRORISM. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138 We are being bombed, blasted and bulldozed right into 3rd world America ! Our water has high levels of toxic metals and high levels of disease, no one cares because the politicians and the profit machines are raking it in. People don't even matter anymore.

23. When do Republicans learn?
They have flogged the national security, patriotism, and Iraq War arguments as hard as they could and have taken brutal beatings in two straight ellections. Damn, is this going to be their plan for 2010, as well? Hell, why not 2012?

27. the CIA lied, this is SOP for spooks
after all, the CIA historically has been an organization of pathological liars, drug dealers and political assassins.

Nancy Pelosi is a very honest and sincere person and I will never believe the GOP on this issue. The fact that they would side with the CIA is predictable.
