This is so mild compared with “there are WMDs in Iraq” and “we don’t torture” and “whoever leaked about that CIA spy will be out of my Administration.” I’m happy to kick her around, too, but let’s keep some perspective. If she deserves being in the stocks, then Bush, Cheney, et al., deserve keelhauling at the very least.
“And as far as that goes, if Pelosi deserves to be pilloried for failure to protest torture (which I for one am not sure that she or the others understood was going on)”
Except, of course, she legally could NOT protest it. The best she could’ve done was to say “no” and there’s no evidence that she didn’t say “no”. If she protested publically, she would’ve been charged with releasing classified information – a crime.

Show me the WMDs. It’s Cheney, Rove, Feith, Wolfowitz, and their friends who should be testing out the rack and a few other “tools of truth”.
