RNC Chairman Steele backs investigation into Bush-era torture
http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/05/17/rnc-chairman-steele-backs-investigation-into-bush-era-torture/

During a Sunday broadcast, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, in the midst of attacking Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for accusing the Central Intelligence Agency of lying, offered his support for an investigation of the Bush administration’s torture program.

Speaking on MSNBC’s Meet the Press, Steele asserted that Pelosi had “stepped in it big time” when she said the CIA had misled Congress in its briefings on torture techniques approved by the Bush administration.

6. Oh he will be backtracking on this as soon as Monday hits

7. Did he say "Hey Y'all! Watch this!" before he went on?
:rofl:

I was pleased when he was selected for the RNC chair. I mean they forgave his 'Scarlet Letter R' campaign.

8. I think the strategy is for the Republicans to expose the Democrats. That's why he said it.
