And THAT's why
@RonWyden emphasized the timing of Haspel pushing to continue torture in 2005-2007: bc she CAN'T, as she did wrt 2002 torture, blame the panic after 9/11. She was pushing to keep torture 5.5 years later.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

She gets rewarded to a top position despite having tortured people. Bad signal for the agency employees.
