| Description | Republicans who are dragging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into the torture debate are, perhaps unwittingly, encouraging Democrats to defend her with a full investigation of the Bush White House -- unless, of course, she does have something to hide.
Democratic leaders, starting with President Barack Obama, had seemed content to let sleeping dogs lie and go easy with any Capitol Hill probes. But the GOP counter-offensive claiming that Pelosi knew about torture practices opens the door to a full investigation to settle the matter -- if for no other reason, so that the Speaker can defend herself. |
