Newt vs. Nancy

Rooted in Truth.CNN:
Gingrich said Pelosi “lied to the House” when she earlier claimed that the CIA had never briefed her about the Bush administration’s use of interrogation methods like waterboarding, which is considered torture by the current administration.
“I think that the House has an absolute obligation to open an inquiry, and I hope there will be a resolution to investigate her. And I think this is a big deal. I don’t think the speaker of the House can lie to the country on national security matters,” the Republican leader said in an interview with ABC Radio.
