The Wall Street Journal Has Pelosi's Back

When the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page starts looking to protect Nancy Pelosi’s political reputation, you can be sure that something really fishy is going on. Today’s lead editorial warned prospective Director of Central Intelligence Leon Panetta not to look into the Bush Administration’s terrorist interrogation policies on the grounds that Democrats like Pelosi, Jane Harman, Bob Graham, and John Rockefeller had been briefed on the aggressive techniques employed on detainees like Abu Zubaydah. Thank goodness these Democrats have the Journal looking out for their best interests.
