Pelosi v CIA

So now the GOP wants an investigation into "who knew what when" in the hopes of ruining Pelosi's credibility and possibly ending her career. The Newt was already on tv this am asking for her resignation. As the article says: bring it on.

First, a tiff between what might have been said in a meeting in 2002 is hardly reason for her to resign - although blonde talking point spewer Hasselbeck certainly jumped on the bandwagon this morning - and isn't it the CIA's job to lie or misrepresent facts (or to torture)? If there is to be an investigation it won't stop at what Pelosi was told (as, I assume, they want just so they can say Dems knew about it...nay nay - and for the record, if she was complicit with any of the ok-ing of torture, she should be held accountable), it would delve into ALL of it.

Here's a thought. What if this was part of the Obama's "long game" the entire time? Let Pelosi take one for the Dems and egg on the GOP to support an investigation - then, with bipartisan support, let the investigation happen and reveal all the Bush Co's dirty little secrets?? Is O that good - or am I still drunk on Kool Aid?
