Gina Haspel, the newly named director of the CIA, and the first woman named to the position, is a career spymaster who once ran a CIA prison in Thailand where terror suspects were waterboarded ... She also helped carry out an order that the CIA destroy its waterboarding videos. ... link |

It sounds like she will fit right in in this administration.

Brings back up my frustration with the lack of a public investigation into the attack on the CIA facility in Benghazi.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I'd rather not meet her if it's all the same. We're neck deep in bull puckey already. I can't think, offhand, of a soul in this administration I'd want to sit down to coffee with.

Those were GOP dog and pony shows attempting to affix blame on Obama and Clinton for the attack on the US Embassy. I am talking about a serious public investigation into the subsequent attack on the CIA outpost. The top-secret presence and location of the CIA outpost was first acknowledged by Charlene Lamb, a top official in the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, during Congressional testimony in October.
Representatives Jason Chaffetz and Darrell Issa immediately called a point of order when Lamb exposed the location of the annex, and asked for the revelation to be stricken from the record.
"I totally object to the use of that photo," Chaffetz. said. "I was told specifically while I was in Libya I could not and should not ever talk about what you're showing here today." 'At its heart a CIA operation' |
