    Atul Gawande Retweeted Andrew Desiderio

    I'm with @RandPaul on this one, as all Americans should be. Being an actual torturer should be a disqualification for high office, let alone being head of the CIA. She oversaw the torture of two suspects and destroyed the video evidence. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/14/politics/rand-paul-opposes-mike-pompeo-gina-haspel/index.html …https://twitter.com/desiderioDC/status/973938159154356224 …

        Which is also why it's not against feminist or progressive values to not support her as the first woman CIA director. #NoTorture 😒

        Rand Paul will, ultimately, vote to confirm this nominee.

        I couldnt be more with Rand Paul on this one. Paul, however, has a long history of starting in a place that he is miraculously persuaded to stray from for $ome rea$on or other, or stuck on some arcane principle that is miraculously accommodated so he can vote with the R majority

        Being an actual torturer should mean automatic disqualification. It does not matter that others in the GWB government changed the definition of torture to make it "legal". Those who tortured and those who wrote legal justification for torture are equally culpable.

        I have heard so many pundits, today, say that she was just following orders. She was doing what she was ordered to do. So were all the leaders in the Third Reich. 🤨😡

        rand only opposes government torture. a master bull whipping a slave he owns is a sacred freedom in rand’s book.

        Some previously well-known people also claimed they were "just following orders." Didn't work out well for them though.

        Especially given that @potus supports torture and we are likely to see enacted again. If she was following Cheney’s orders then she will again.
