But she was also ALREADY deputy director; only one step down from director. Just saying.
She was in the CIA program & Trump loves torture - so why not? As the USA abandons the rule of law, democratic principles and cohesive governance - we should have no expectations that human rights, constitutional rights or any semblance of basic human decency will be respected.
Sounds about right for team trump
Right...thanks for the correction, but we all know she will be the director...who is saying NO to Trumpkin these days?
Trump should be waterboarded.
And will you look at this, out goes Tillerson, torture advocate Pompeo moves & Trumpf brings in an ACCOMPLISHED torturer?
Who's worse, Tillerson or Pompeo?

Awesome! A war criminal!
First woman too to be appointed. Left that out.
hooray, a woman torturer, so progressive
Anti-Trump groups *might* be a trifle surprised at Haspel earning kudos from James "Trump is a Russian asset" Clapper, HRC backer Michael Morellhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/us/politics/cia-deputy-director-gina-haspel-torture-thailand.html …
Definitely, in the intelligence services there will a diversity of opinion. The NYT is taking a strong stand, for which I am very glad. Trump may want #torture, but it will mean a messy confirmation hearing.
Trump...a 21st century, PC version of Adolph? Softer, kinder? Haspel...the same version of Mengele? Squeaky clean?
If the intel gathered by torturing terrorists saves at least one American life, then I’m all for it.
