"It's not my way to trumpet the fact that I am a woman up for the top job at CIA ,but I would be remiss in not remarking on it -- not least because of the outpouring of support from young women at CIA and, indeed, across the IC," Haspel says https://cbsn.ws/2FYiABL pic.twitter.com/Yxd2Jy711s

A political "witch hunt" if there ever was one. Since when does U.S. penalize someone for following the law? This is strictly political for Democrats opposing Gina Haspel. She has served honorably for 33 years, but is under scrutiny solely for being a Trump appointee.

A war crime is an act that constitutes a serious violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility.Examples include intentionally killing civilians or prisoners, "torture", etc........

These individuals were not enemy combatants, they were terrorist not covered by the Geneva Convention.

The problem with that is some were innocent.The United States was a nation of laws but the CIA willingly wiped its ass with those laws probably due to guilt of not doing their job in the 1st place which was to prevent terror. Now they are the terrorists.
-
Having been through SERE training and having first hand experience with water boarding, no one dies. Strict procedures are followed. The Administration approved the use of enhanced interrogation.

Why put someone who lies & tortured for a living thats how we got in this situation in the 1st place. George Tenet carrier in intelligence missed 9/11 lied us into a war in Iraq & let Osama Bin Laden go. Leon Panetta a civilian brought back respect to CIA & killed Bin laden.

Actually a group of outstanding analyst led Seal Team 6 to Bin Laden. Having worked with intelligence people for 20 years they are dedicated to providing the best information available to safeguard American lives.
