Curl: The Speaker misspeaks
I'm thinking Speaker Pelosi may lay low and not take questions for a while.
Wishful thinking: Please, please, please, may the media relentlessly pursue for the truth..

In the Washington Times, Joseph Curl reports on a rcent Q@A:
"With her own second-in-command now demanding more answers, the California Democrat, her voice barely audible at times, read a rambling statement at her weekly press briefing about her prior knowledge of the "enhanced interrogation techniques" (EITs) employed by under President Bush, asserting that she was not told in a September 2002 briefing that the U.S. government used waterboarding.
Minutes later, though, she acknowledged for the first time that her top security adviser was part of a February 2003 briefing in which he learned that American interrogators were in fact waterboarding suspected terrorists.
'My statement is clear, and let me read it again. Let me read it again. I'm sorry. I have to find the page,' said a flustered Mrs. Pelosi, shuffling through papers, her hands quivering a bit, as she sought to stick to her prepared text."
