    1/ @GenMhayden, former CIA director, tells me that “we should not in any way blame the people who did what they were responsible to do” when it comes to so-called “enhanced interrogation” techniques.

        2/ The @nytimes reports that while running a CIA prison in Thailand, Pres. Trump’s pick to lead the CIA, Gina Haspel, oversaw the torture of two terrorism suspects and her name was on a cable giving instructions to destroy video evidence documenting their interrogations.

        3/ CIA officers, Hayden says, “asked the appropriate organs of government whether this was constitutional, lawful, and consistent with American treaty obligations. They were given yes answers to each of those. They did their duty.”

        4/ Hayden says that despite President Trump’s professed belief that the US should “fight fire with fire” and that torture “absolutely” works, there is no chance the CIA would once again use the techniques.

        6/ “No responsible head of CIA will be telling his or her officers to go do this, because he or she will not be able to provide the kind of protection that they deserve and they should demand. This is a moot point.”

        US service members swear oath to Constitution, not their superiors. Uniform Code of Military Justice demands obedience to lawful orders and disobedience when order is illegal. TORTURE IS ILLEGAL ALWAYS. This stance would have gotten @GenMhayden convicted at Nuremberg.

        Isn't that the SAME REASONING THAT NAZIS Used as EXCUSES TO AVOID THE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY CHARGES THEY WERE UNDER? This Lady KNEW the Geneva Conventions on TREATMENT OF POW's, and SHE VIOLATED THEM; then SHE ORDERED OBSTRUCTION AND DESTROYING OF EVIDENCE, INDICATING GUILT!

        Disagree here - "just obeying orders" - we know too well who used that defense.

        Yeah, kind of like the Nazi death camp guards were just carrying out orders. It is an interesting philosophical dilemma, and it begs the question: How far would she go for an unethical president who, for example, espouses torture?

        Pig headed terrorists will not be found guilty if there is no enhanced interrogation carried out by the authority. Terrorists are most cruel people with negative sentiment & criminal mind which hurts themselves & whole humanity. Officials must be respected.

        As opposed to our American govt that selectively picks targets to “liberate” but only if they have oil otherwise ppl like Mugabe and the situation in Myanmar would’ve been dealt with a long time ago

        No doubt powerful nations & UN have been using double standard while dealing different nations based on their interest. Powerful nations & UN must be fair in dealing global crisis. Hypocrisy cannot solve any global problems. Let’s protect humanity.
