Hoyer wants Pelosi facts out

Hoyer wants Pelosi facts out By Jared Allen and Mike Soraghan Posted: 05/12/09 07:53 PM [ET]
The No. 2 Democrat in the House on Tuesday said Americans should be provided answers on what Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew about interrogations of suspected terrorists and when she knew about it.
But he also indicated that those answers might give the embattled Speaker political cover.
“I think the facts need to get out,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told reporters on Tuesday when asked about calls from both sides of the aisle for congressional investigations into the formulation of the so-called torture memos.
The Pelosi interrogation controversy has become a major distraction as the White House and congressional Democrats are seeking to move their top agenda items, most notably healthcare reform and climate change legislation. It is likely that Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be grilled about interrogations at her weekly press conference on Thursday.
Hoyer accused Republicans of creating a diversion by focusing on what information leading Democrats received about interrogation techniques. But he is now the highest-ranking Democrat to say that such information should be made public.
“I think the Republicans are simply trying to distract the American public with who knew what when,” Hoyer said. “The issue is not what was said or what was known; the focus ought to be on what was done.
“But I think, frankly,” the majority leader added, “the information about what was said and when it was said and who said it — I think that probably ought to be on the record, as well, so the American public knows that rather than what I think is somewhat of a distraction rather than a substantive debate.”
