All: WRT The ProPublica correction on Gina Haspel. It is correct that torturing one person not two is still torturing someone. But there is a crucial difference bt Zubaydah and Nashiri. 1/n

We know Zubaydah's treatment in Thailand exceeded Bybee memo, therefore was not "legal". Whoever did that could not, now, say they just did what DOJ authorized. 2/n

We don't know whether Nashiri's torture, in Thailand, stayed within bounds of memo. We know his later treatment did not, but that would have been after he was shipped onto someone else. 3/n

So the Zubaydah and Nashiri v just Nashiri is about whether Haspel can credibly claim everything she oversaw was authorized by Bybee memo. It doesn't change fact of torture, or her role in coverup, but it does go to claim it was "legal." 4/4

ProPublica got it wrong, issued a correction and removed tweets. CIA will never self-correct, I fear, and it resists oversight with all its might. She should be in prison, not heading the Agency, but that's what you get with a Turnip administration. Another bad choice by Turnip.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
