Senator Feinstein Defend's Nancy Pelosi's Situational Morality

Senator Dianne Feinstein from right here in the Golden State went on record to defend Nancy Pelosi, but may have also given cover to members of the Bush administration who authorized the enhanced interrogation techniques:

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, backed Pelosi.

“I think it’s a tempest in a teapot really to say: Well, Speaker Pelosi should have known all of this, she should have stopped this, she should have done this or done that,” she said.

“I don’t want to make an apology for anybody, but in 2002, it wasn’t 2006, 07, 08 or 09. It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.”

In other words, these techniques made a lot of sense in 2002 which explains why they were approved and why Nancy Pelosi and others had no problem with them at that time. When it became politically incorrect to support waterboarding and other enhanced techniques, her situational morality kicked in and now she's frantically trying to cover her tracks.

Some in the media are starting to describe Pelosi's protestations as "Clintonesque". That's not a good sign for San Fran Nan if she wants to keep the big chair at the top of the podium.
