U.S.: Nancy Pelosi: I knew about waterboarding, but they lied to Congress
- 2003 The House Speaker is informed of harsh interrogation techniques by the C.I.A., including the use of waterboarding, the cruelest form of punishment ever.
- 2009 Pelosi, on the hot seat about what she knew, admits this much but says they were dishonest about the extent of the interrogation methods to Congress. Hm. source
