Did you read the actual document? Not that I'm a fan of Pelosi (she's
a twit), but her name only appears once in 10 pages and that is the
very first briefing way back in 2002 when the Dems were in the
minority and other than "description of the particular EITs that had
been used" there are no details on what actual information she and
congressman Goss received.
I for one do not doubt that in the hysteria that followed 9/11 and
the rampant trampling on the US Constitution by the Bush
Administration, Bush and company would have seized on the opportunity
question the Dem leadership's loyalty and even declare any breaches
of secrecy as treason.
