Watch Your Government

http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0409/Pelosi_I_didnt_know_about_waterboarding.html

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi was pushing back on GOP charges that accused her of doing nothing to stop waterboarding. Pelosi claims that she had been briefed on the issue but was never really informed about whether or not waterboarding would be used, but there was "opinion" that they could be used. Boehner, House Minority Leader, also claimed that there was a briefing on waterboarding but no one said a word. In defense, Pelosi said that classified intelligence briefings were meant to be kept quiet about.

What does this tell me? This tells me that our government may be getting too corrupt. The US was not suppose to use any sort of interrogation techniques, whether it is waterboarding or something else. I think that using "enhanced interrogation" may lead to unjustifiable answers and forced information, so it probably doesn't work. We need to watch our government. If something like this goes unrecognized, eventually, Pelosi or any other members of government may be the one that prevents us from receiving all our rights. This means that citizens may be subject to being plucked off the street and sent directly to "enhanced interrogation" or what I like to call it: torture.
