Was Pelosi A Complicitous Fellow Traveler With the Cheney & Bush Torture Program ?

The American electorate is aware of the fact that members of Congress very rarely read and comprehend the bills they sign, and quite often they don't listen to information supplied to them by their aides or by other parties.
I believe that Nancy Pelosi was briefed on waterboarding in 2002 and on February 4, 2003. If Mrs.Pelosi knew that waterboarding was being used on detainees, why didn't she along with other members of Congress protest that practice ?
Our leaders in this Constitutional Republic purport that we are a nation of laws whenever it is politically expedient, and then renege on that declaration of rhetoric when it's not in their best interest.
I say that we are a nation of cowards and hypocrites.
