It's not much of a surprise, but Nancy Pelosi plans to announce she's officially opposing the Graham-Lieberman amendment banning the release of interrogation photos and videos -- setting up a showdown with the Obama administration and the Senate.
She just made the announcement on MSNBC's Ed Schultz Show. Greg Sargent reported it first.
The speaker -- who needs the backing of liberals to pass the war supplemental -- told reporters a week ago that she would support the amendment, which was engineered by the White House.
Her decision, Democratic aides say, is bound to infuriate almost everybody -- except the handful of progressives needed to pass the war bill and its controversial provision funding the International Monetary Fund.
The measure isn't expected to be taken up this week. - Politico Story
