Pelosi is not the only one saying the CIA lied. There are other dems as well as pubs who expressed this during the Bush admin. I think we all know that the idea of the CIA lying isn't that far fetched given their report on WMDs as well as other reports. In response to Pelosi the CIA sent out a statement that said she was briefed, but also included what I consider to be a disclaimer saying effectively that everything they said was coming from recollection from the CIA people there and that basically it might not be true. (Yeah, that was a pointless response.) We have the retired Sen Graham who keeps a meticulous diary every day. He confronted the CIA on the dates of the briefings and the CIA had to back down and admitted they had the wrong dates.
So, do I think Pelosi is lying? I would really be surprised if it turns out that she is lying. Please note: Pelosi is the one who was originally pushing to get these documents declassified. Regardless of what you may think of her, I don't think she's stupid enough to incriminate herself.
What's really wierd is that the pubs haven't come out and said what happens if Pelosi is lying. Would that make her as guilty as Bush and Cheney? Would it also make other senators who were briefed guilty? I doubt it, so what's the point other than the pubs picking a target and trying to destroy her reputation? That just might back fire on them.

Not thinking logically....you have room to talk....
you obviously don't know squat about how the government is run, but I am sure some of your fellow Democrats (try Harry Reid) could explain to you how there is a budget, and there are certain monies that go into each budget and they don't cross over...although I have to agree in spirit, the way the Democrats have raped Social Security and pulled money from it to put into other entitlement programs that fell short...yeah, I am sure the Democrats could get the money from somewhere. And if you do not see the difference in funding our military and funding social programs...talk about a person without sound judgment. I don't know why when you Democrats (or some of you) get backed into a corner you want to start personally attacking people, telling them they are not thinking logically and without sound judgment and run the the favorite Dem backup, the war, the war, the war.
As to the cigarette tax..I am not a smoker, never have been, but it seems erally arrogant to me to single out a certain portion of society to almost double a tax on to pay for this. In what alternate reality is that FAIR?? Many of them are ones who would be users of the SCHIP program. If you are asking THEM to fund their own "free" insurance, should you not be willing to do the same? You sign up to have an extra 3% taken off the top of your gross income to be dedicated to SCHIP. You are behind it 100%. Everyone who signs up to use it signs up to have an additional 3% of their income off the top given to SCHIP. All Democrats who want to expand the program, pledge 3% off the top of your gross income from now until you die. You fund it. Works for me. You won't hear me complain.
