One night, Ms. Haspel received word 2 terrorists linked to an embassy bombing, were coming to the country where she was stationed. She swiftly put together an operation that lead to the terrorists' arrest & imprisonment.
In addition to the arrests, her operation also culminated with the seizure of computers that carried details of a terrorist plot. For her work, Haspel received the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in Counterterrorism.
As the fight against al-Qa'ida heated up, Gina requested transfer to our Counter Terrorism Center Her first day on the job was September 11, 2001 She walked in amid the commotion, sat down at a computer, & got to work. She didn't let up for 3 years, often working 7 days a week
Before being named CIA Deputy Director in 2017, Haspel held a series of senior jobs, including Chief of Staff to Deputy Director for Operations, Chief of Station in city of a major US ally, & Deputy Director of DO. She leads w compassion, integrity, discipline, & humor.pic.twitter.com/9YpzUY7R7i
Haspel is a DO veteran, but her assignments over 3 decades have brought her into close partnerships w officers across CIA. "Getting to work with these officers is the greatest part of the job," she says. "They are the silent warriors who work ceaselessly to protect America."
As the first woman to rise from the ranks to Deputy Director—& now the first to be nominated as CIA Director— Haspel says she owes her success to the colleagues she has served with, the mentors, role models, and close friends who supported & believed in her throughout her career.
She could torture people of color as well as any man could!
Literally the @HillaryClinton slogan
I can't tell the difference between satire and reality anymore.pic.twitter.com/wtWCEtCrDE
She definitely proved that she can commit war crimes as well as any man.
I used to want to join the CIA to protect this country, Liberty and the world. Then I grew to understand that you are not an arm of the people and not a defense of liberty, you are the arm of power and privilege. This is propaganda.
Overseeing hidden torture operations is hard work.
Did she use exotic torture techniques?
Exotic? seriously @CIA
Yes, full of ethnic food and other stereotypical euphemisms.
By torturing people?
About half the country is poor, and can't afford a $1,000 emergency. Thousand still go bankrupt for medical cost. Millions of homeless and 40% of those actually have jobs, a majority of the rest are http://children.You are correct sir!
The US political system needs to change, but sadly, i don't think it ever will, too much money, too much corruption, not that the UK system is that much better!
please elect Jezza prime minister and then reclaim the colonies thanks!
Colonial days are over mate,you're on your own!
