Haspel: "To me, the tragedy is that the controversy surrounding the interrogation program, which as I already indicated to Sen. Warner, I fully understand that. But it has cast a shadow over what has been a major contribution to protecting this country." https://cbsn.ws/2FYiABL pic.twitter.com/kWelVeRXRR

Wow that's a lot of bobbing a weaving lol. She seems pretty self-aware that her own "moral compass" is pretty different that the one she's being asked to uphold.

What’s Haspel’s definition of ‘higher moral standard’?? Hers seems to differ from mine based on her actions historically.

Haspel oversaw torture program fully CIA-and-WH sanctioned and that our own foreign policy created Al Qaeda. Why don’t we address monstrosity of ourgovernment and its agencies?! Why suddenly do we have concerns about torture?! It was never acceptable in a civilized world.

I don’t think we should judge this woman so harshly. Who among us would want the responsibility of her job post 911? She seems strong and knowledgeable. We can’t clutch our pearls just because she’s a Trump appointee. When she knew better she did better.

I sure as hell would. Throw away the rule book, and make evil suffer. Instead of tolerating the good to suffer. Terrorists drown, burn, rape and murder for no reason other than evil Fight fire with fire, right? There's no rules in love and war...

Would have been nice to have that debate *before* we started torturing people, huh? And note at the end that her concern is for CIA torturers and not their victims.
