Extraordinary Rendition Report Finds More Than 50 Nations Involved In Global Torture Scheme

Marco, it is my opinion that Democrats have agreed with the Republicans all along.

========================== 

I think you're absolutely right, although I don't agree with the rest of what you're suggesting.  

When put together with everything else that we do know to date, I think it's clear that they knew (at least top Democrats knew) that Saddam didn't have WMD, but that they would have plausible deniability based on how Bush-Cheney had lined up all their ducks in a row, from Tony Blair to Colin Powell.

Regarding NancyPelosi:  One interesting footnote in the history of the time is how Bush-Cheney managed to go around Congress, specifically the House of Representatives.  It also speaks to all of Bush-Cheney's efforts to thwart Congress.  

There actually is evidence of Bush's criminality, both lying to Congress and torture, and it leads from the Bush-Cheney White House to Democratic congressman John Murtha and a subcommittee he chaired.  Dick Cheney, along with his aide-de-camp David Addington, called upon his time in Congress back in the 1980s to figure out a "way 'round and through" Congress, past Democrats and Pelosi.  I chronicled it here (scroll down to my comments there).  

FYI: Cheney's aide, David Addington, it was recently announced, is now joining Jim DeMint at the Heritage Foundation to plan the renewal and rebirth of the Republican Party and how to achieve conservatives' goals in government.
