Pelosi and Harman Were Part of 9/11 Coverup

House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blocking efforts to impeach Bush and Cheney, or to take any other real steps to save America. One of the grounds for impeachment is that the government made knowingly false claims about 9/11.

Congresswoman Jane Harman chaired the hearing of the House Subcommittee on Homeland Security which pushing for the labeling 9/11 truth sites as terrorist incubators.

What do these two congresswomen have in common? They were both part of the 9/11 cover up.

Veteran reporter Robert Scheer gives the background in his opinion piece today in the San Francisco Chronicle. The first two lines of the piece set the stage:

"When the CIA destroyed those prisoner interrogation videotapes, were they also destroying the truth about Sept. 11, 2001? After all, according to the 9/11 Commission report, the basic narrative of what happened on that day - and the nature of the enemy in this war on terror that Bush launched in response to the tragedy - comes from the CIA's account of what those prisoners told their torturers.

Scheer then moves on to Pelosi and Harman' role in the cover up:

But what about those congressional leaders who were briefed on the torture program as early as 2002? That includes Democrats like Nancy Pelosi . . . .

Pelosi claimed that "several months later" her successor as the ranking Democrat, Rep. Jane Harman of Los Angeles County, was advised the techniques "had in fact been employed" and wrote a classified letter to the CIA in protest, and Pelosi "concurred." Neither went public with her concerns.

Harman told the Washington Post "I was briefed, but the information was closely held to just the Gang of Four . . . an insider reference to the top members of the House and Senate intelligence committees . . . .

Not only did the congressional Gang of Four fail to inform the public about the use of torture by our government but they also kept the 9/11 Commission in the dark.

Pelosi testified before the commission on May 22, 2003 but uttered not a word of caution about the methods used. However, more than two years later on Nov. 16, 2005, Pelosi stated correctly that on the basis of her "many years on the intelligence committee," she knew that "The quality of intelligence that is collected by torture is ... uncorroborated and it is worthless."

***
As matters now stand, they not only concealed torture but, more significantly, they abetted the waterboarding of our democracy.

Pelosi and Harman played an instrumental role in the 9/11 cover up by keeping their knowledge about the interrogation videotapes secret from the 9/11 Commission and from the American people (they weren't the only ones who knew). This is made all the worse because Pelosi knew that intelligence "collected by torture" is worthless, and yet she never even hinted to the Commission or to anyone else that the CIA's version of events should be questioned. They could have stopped the whole farce cold -- but they chose to go along with it.

These two congresswomen -- who are fighting against 9/11 truth -- previously aided and abetted the 9/11 cover up. Is that why they don't want the truth to come out?

Note: Rather than being progressives, Pelosi and Harman actually appear to be alligned with the Neoconservatives in many respects.

I am a retired opera singer. I was a leading soprano with the New York City Opera for ten years. I am a strong supporter of Dennis Kucinich and worked for his campaign in 2004. I believe that he is the ONLY honest man in congress. He has been working against this insane war since before it began. I am 72 years old and I have been so frustrated with the media, the Congress and the American people that they don't tell the truth.

Impeach them, too!

They are both guilty of impeachable crimes. And they should be considered as the criminals they are. They also have not defended the Constitution which was their oath when they took office. Throw the bums out!!!!!

I absolutely positively and conclusively agree with this

It explains ALL the odd behaviour from both of them.

On the erased tapes the info WAS there .. and Pelosi and Harman (have a good look at the 2005 post on the url below when Harman and Pelosi were tangling about WHO should be house speaker. They both definitively know what was on the tapes, which Guantanomo kidnap victim knows what and it's almost (and I am so fried working at ALL the angles) AS IF the purposely ordered the torture to cover it all up, seriously, as they KNEW IT WOULD INVALIDATE THE REAL EVIDENCE.

We know that Steny Hoyer is making a move on both of them again, btw. I wonder what HE knows.

It is certainly diablolically evil what they have done this, but then it explains Ms. Pelosi trying now to convert the Syrian Pres (which I could not figure out until now) as the US relationship with ISREAL, SAUDI ARABIA and PAKISTAN, all key players in the scenario (and Canada, too, I might add) are so very secure for the corporatocracy, eh?

Here is a little file I have going on Pelosi since 2005, but of course I still have MORE archived. It's a gift I am gonna give to an international war crimes tribunal one day. I have been beating the drum on this for THREE YEARS and been thrown off so many impeachment groups for it, it aint' funny.

Fortunately, crooks and liars and Daily KOS do "see" it my way .. now. There are questions a grand jury must ask after it is convened that might shed real light on REAL questions.
