WASHINGTON -- House Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.
The House voted 252-172 to block the measure that would have created a bipartisan congressional panel. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, sponsored the resolution.
"This is partisan politics and an attempt by the Republicans to distract from the real issue of creating jobs and making progress on health care, energy and education," said Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami. - FOX News Story
Hello! It has hardly been a couple of weeks and Pelosi and many of the Democrats were, and still are I might add, for an investigation into the Bush Administration. If that isn't "partisan politics and an attempt to distract from the real issue of creating jobs..." then why should this be?
The Democrats and Pelosi can't have it both ways. Pick your poison, investigate or don't?
