"Pelosi vs. CIA" Update - What does it mean for John Dennis?

In a recent American Thinker article Pelosi’s credibility is scrutinized during a thorough update on the Pelosi vs. CIA  controversy.  As you may remember, Pelosi denied being informed about the torture procedures carried out by the agency, saying quite bluntly that the CIA “mislead us all the time.”  It may surprise few if this were true, however as time passes the story is unfolding... and not in her favor.  It is now evident that Pelosi is the one with credibility in serious jeopardy; not the CIA. 

It took the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the due diligence of Judicial Watch to retrieve a CIA "Top Secret" memorandum.  According to this new information, the "ongoing interrogations of Abu Zubaydah" were discussed with members of Congress, most notably Ms. Pelosi, on April 24, 2002.  The date is significant.  Pelosi stated that she was briefed in September 2002.  She said that “the only mention of waterboarding at that briefing was that it was not being employed."  Interesting, considering that the “terror suspect Abu Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding 83 times in August 2002,” as reported by ABC News.  Scandals like this make it obvious why Judicial Watch listed Pelosi as one of "Congress' Top Ten Most Corrupt Politicians" in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

American Thinker adds (link above):

Democrats like Pelosi had called for a "truth commission" to investigate the Bush administration's treatment of terrorists, but after the CIA released part of the briefing information, Pelosi, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, and the Obama administration backed away from the idea. What, did the truth not serve them?

[…]

We are now beginning to get a very clear picture of what members of Congress knew about so-called enhanced interrogation techniques and when they knew it," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

[...]

Once the full truth is known from the CIA memos, Pelosi will be caught in a web of her own making. Then what? It's unlikely that the House Speaker will apologize or retract her accusation. The time and effort spent by watchdogs like Judicial Watch to bring out the truth years after Pelosi's CIA slander (or careless words) may not reap any immediate penalty to her, but maybe it will affect her reelection in November.

Ms. Pelosi has been entrenched in the Congress for 23 years, rarely challenged in her San Francisco district. Perhaps after this credibility "clunk," even California Congressional District 8 liberals will finally be sufficiently offended or embarrassed by Ms. Pelosi's many missteps.

Also on American Thinker, a blogger wrote explicitly about her challenger, John Dennis, in a post entitled Pelosi challenger faces uphill fight, stating, in part:

 

Can Republican candidate John Dennis pull off a Scott Brown Massachusetts type miracle in California's 8th congressional district race resulting in the un-seating of Nancy Pelosi?

[…]

Dennis' coast to coast campaign is exciting to say the least and provides entertaining fodder for talk radio all over the country. This effort may bring in much needed funding from out of the district, but will this be enough?

[…]

Best wishes to candidate John Dennis whose success in the 8th district would probably be celebrated by conservatives all across our great country.

It’s good to know that the John Dennis Campaign is gaining recognition nationwide from a variety of websites dedicated to securing our freedom of speech and overall liberty.  Because, as he says above, “much needed funding from out of the district” will be required in order to unseat the Speaker.  You can do your part by spreading the word about John Dennis, no matter where you live.  As Speaker of the House, Pelosi’s reign affects the lives of all Americans.
