House Rejects Inquiry of Pelosi’s C.I.A. Briefing Accounts

The House on Thursday rejected a Republican call for a special investigation into whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi was told in September 2002 that the C.I.A. was subjecting terror suspects to waterboarding.

On a mainly party line vote of 252 to 172, Democrats upheld a ruling that a request for a special panel to look into the conflicting accounts of Ms. Pelosi and the intelligence community did not merit special treatment, but should be proposed as regular legislation.

The brief floor fight was the latest — but almost certainly not the last — development in the dispute revolving around Ms. Pelosi’s assertion that C.I.A. officials told her in the fall of 2002 only that they had determined the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques were legal, not that they were employing them.

Sort of a waste of time because we all know she's lying anyways, but on the other hand having a congressional record stating that Pelosi's is full of it makes me grin a little.
