Waiting until your party has executive and legislative power mightn't be the most morally pure way to go about rectifying the cruel mess that was American Torture 2001-8, but it's not the same as ordering the cruelty in the first place.

I never said it is any better or worse than those that ordered the torture to begin with. My point is she is just as suspect and a conspirator in this matter because she had knowledge that this was going to happen. She sat on her thumbs. The premise here is not who is right or wrong, the premise is this should not have happened. Plenty were aware of it and of those who were aware had power to do something about it. Nothing was done. Pelosi is more powerful than the President IMO and no flags were raised then.
