Investigate Nancy Pelosi Along with the Rest.

I have never much liked Nancy Pelosi even though I'm a proud Liberal, however, I'm not a "party over principle" kind of guy. Nor am I a, "person over principle." I am proud that It was the Democrats who nominated the first female Speaker of the House but I would have much preferred someone like Barbara Boxer over Nancy Pelosi whom I've always thought seemed a bit shifty.

Anyway, her answers on what she knew about water boarding and when she knew. It is suspicious but she's innocent until proven guilty as is Cheney and the rest of the Bushies though they look pretty damn guilty!! I get very annoyed with people from both parties who are loyal to a fault and simply spew knee-jerk defenses of anyone who shares a similar political view point or ideology as they do. Sometimes the right thing means going against your team. Though I will say that I find it annoying, sadly typical and revolting that the Cheney-Limbaugh party has suddenly become interested in transparency, accountability and the rule of law!!!

I will say though that now that there is a Democrat in question that the investigation into the torture issue needs to be seperated from Congress. It has become way to politicized and thus an independent investigator is the best avenue to find the truth and the best way to avoid accusations of taint by the majority party.

I nominate Patrick Fitzgerald who investigated Scotter Libby and Blago. If this investigation turns up Democrats who signed off on these torture techniques then let the chips fall where they may. I want everyone who was involved in this cancerous mess to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Accountability must trump party affiliation.
