The thing out there now is that Pelosi was briefed in 2002 about "enhanced interrogation methods". She says that they did not tell her that it had been done or that it was going to be done. Now, the response from some is "why didn't she do something about it?" Lets look at her options:

1. Speak about it in public (she would be arrested and thrown in jail). (plus as far as she was concerned no war crimes were being committed because they hadn't been implemented)
2. Try to pass a bill in congress to "DOUBLE" ban torture? It was already illegal.
3. Report it to the Bush justice department that approved of the plan.
4. Try to get a Democratic President elected to change the policy.

What are you saying she should have done? And remember, until 2007, she was the House MINORITY Leader.
