    Atul Gawande Retweeted ProPublica

    Trump is praising Gina Haspel for her role in overseeing black sites that used torture. Approving Haspel’s nomination would mean we are still not drawing a clear and explicit line on torture.https://twitter.com/propublica/status/993986582096039936 …

    Atul Gawande added,

    A detainee was waterboarded. Slammed repeatedly against a wall. Told he needed to be "tenderized" like a piece of meat. And Gina Haspel – Trump's pick to oversee the CIA – supervised it. https://propub.li/2rtDy6W

        12 years ago I helped organize this debate because torture is bad it’s absurd that not everyone agrees torture is bad and we shouldn’t torture people. pic.twitter.com/A7wnEUkFtT

        Thank you. I am amazed that more physicians are not tweeting about Ms. Haspel’s role in torture and the message that her @CIA nomination sends. If healthcare professionals won’t speak up against #torture, who will?

        It was the law then that was legally compelled to follow. Consider ONLY that ONE aspect of her candidacy? Test of her 30 or so experience is irrelevant? Atul, are you being rational which you emphasize, means critically to evaluate serious counter arguments?

        I believe approving Haspel’s nomination would mean we are green-lighting torture, with the full knowledge and backing of the CIA. The ramifications for our troops overseas are frightening.

        Respectfully, I disagree that this is the necessary inference. The past has no power over the present moment.

        Many of these people should even be in jail but many responsible have been promoted.
