    Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) also says he’ll back Gina Haspel for CIA: “Gina Haspel has dedicated her life to serving her country and the brave men and women who work at the CIA deserve a career professional, like her, to lead them."

        Just called Sen. Nelson's office -- 202-224-5274 -- to urge him to reconsider this terrible decision.

        I'm done with these GOP-lite "Democrats." This is not a hard moral call. They are all just moral cowards. To call a torturer a "professional" is simply beyond the pale.

        So why was her boss Brennan voted in under Obama? We're all the Dems "lite"? His positions are stronger! Water boarding isn't torture. It's training for our special ops soldiers. If we have someone in custody W/knowledge to stop imminent attack, we better get the info.

        Hard to count the lies here. Haspel admitted under oath there was no way to prove torture produced useful intelligence. The US prosecuted US soldiers for for using waterboarding and their crime was torture. Not fan of Brennan either, but your assertions about him are also lies.

        I think the issue is that they (GOP) threaten to nominate Tom Cotton or some such tea party political hack ....to run CIA - which would be so much worse even than Haspel apparently. We have to occasionally remember we don’t know all the info our senator knows. 🤷‍♂️

        Yeah....we get it. She has a past. But she's hands down the most qualified person for the job compared to anyone on Trump's cabinet

        Obviously Senator Nelson never met someone who was tortured nor witnessed how godawful it is.
