"Accordingly, I have asked the Government Accountability Office to investigate immediately what led to the disclosure of this information and to make recommendations to prevent a similar disclosure."
That was Nancy Pelosi today, calling for an investigation of the accidental posting to the web yesterday of hundreds of pages of details of nuclear facilities around the country.
The Obama administration insists that US national security was not harmed by this embarrassing mistake, but apparently the Speaker disagrees and feels this is a burning issue that we absolutely must get to the bottom of to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi remains uninterested in establishing a bipartisan investigation to verify her shocking claim last month that the CIA in 2002 willfully and repeatedly lied to her about the enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, that the Agency was employing against high value terrorist detainees.
Apparently, the notion that the CIA is lying to members of Congress or, conversely, that the person two heart beats away from the Presidency is smearing the US intelligence community in order to cover her own political ass, does not deserve further investigation and should remain a game of he-said, she-said. In other words, Pelosi is saying the American people do not deserve to know the truth.
But at least we'll spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours making sure some low level staffer doesn't accidentally post some semi-innocuous government info to the World Wide Web in the future. So thanks very much for that, Nancy.
