Democrats: CIA Briefers May Have Broken Law By Issuing "False Report"

Huh?

We have only Madame Secretary's claim that they didn't disclose that Zubaydah had been waterboarded. And no one, including the liberal media, believes it.

So why are Democrats acting as if Pelosi's claims are true and threatening prosecutions?

You know why: They want the CIA to shut up.

Democrats on the House intelligence committee said Thursday that CIA officers broke the law in 2002 if they told Nancy Pelosi then that they had not yet engaged in waterboarding.

"If they make a false report, absolutely it's illegal," said Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. "If they fail to make a report when they're obligated to that is also illegal — a violation of the National Security Act."

Shut up and start lying or you will be prosecuted for lying.

Full Vid of Pelosi: Already linked by Slublog in DrewM.'s post below, but I'm highlighting it again, largely because I'm going to watch the whole thing soon and want the company.

Apparently there's some good stuff at the end when her aide tries to escort her out before she does any further damage to herself, or to the English language.

Also, groans from the rest of the press as one reporter attempts to save her by changing the topic to health care.
