Kabuki, I Tells Ya, Kabuki

The politics of D.C. is not the obvious, but the not so obvious.
First there was a leak, an apparent attempt to smear Jane Harman with an alleged wiretap of an Israeli agent lobbying her to intervene in a prosecution. Fingers pointing at disgraced former CIA guy Porter Goss, who had a grudge or something.
Now, ABC is out with a leaked memo implicating Nancy Pelosi as being in the loop on torture.
Andrew Sullivan buys in completely, ignoring the caveat. He's been saying she was in on it for weeks, but I never saw a citation.
Today, he doesn't mention this:
and notes that summarized the best recollections of those individuals. In the end, you and the Committee will have to determine whether this information is an accurate summary of what actually happened.

Do I think Nancy knew and didn't speak out against it? I don't know. Neither does ABC, nor Andrew Sullivan. News at 11.
