Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        @tmprokop Among other things, yes. Also the person who had Khaled al-Masri rendered by mistake. She's sort of a "best of" fuckups in WOT.

        @emptywheel I enjoyed the line in the article that "she was not afraid to make mistakes." Perhaps she should have been.

        @tmprokop One reason she was not disciplined: bosses said they didn't want people be afraid of fucking up. No 1% doctrine for false torture

        @emptywheel Longstanding US foreign policy of blowing them up then giving them a bandaid afterward is alive and well

        @emptywheel Simply amazing the lengths to which they'll go to protect Bikowsky. She must have the goods on everyone.
