 I have consciously avoided all comment on the furour --- whipped up by former Bush Administration officials and their supporters --- over how much Nancy Pelosi (pictured), the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, knew about the torture programme from 2002. I have done so not out of political bias or a lack of academic interest (for example, the limits on Congress' oversight of illegal activity when an exclusive group of 4 or 8 legislators are given some information --- and thus sworn to secrecy --- over that activity). I have done so because this is a blatant attempt by those who served Bush to deflect attention from their actions.

I will break silence, however, to post this question which I put to Mr Karl Rove, a Bush advisor, when he wrote that Pelosi was an "accomplice to 'torture'" (I received no reply):
If Nancy Pelosi is an accomplice to a felony.....
Who are the felons?
