More Than 100 Former Ambassadors Write Letter Opposing Gina Haspel NominationThe 109 retired and former U.S. ambassadors sent the Senate a letter on 9 May 2018 saying in part that Gina Haspel is "emblematic of choices made by certain American officials that "dispensed with our ideals and international commitments to the "ultimate detriment of our national security."They went on that "[w]hat we do know, based on credible, and as yet uncontested reporting, leaves us of the view that [Ms. Haskel] should be disqualified from holding cabinet rank." Moreover they continued to write that Haspel's connection to torture will be welcomed by authoritarian leaders worldwide, "as it will allow them to proclaim, however cynically, that their behavior is no different from ours." Likewise a retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Corps General and 60 retired Generals and Admirals wrote a letter opposing Haspel which letter is referenced in more detail with citations below.

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) Chair Armed Services Committee Urges Senators Reject Haspel Senator McCain is suffering from terminal brain cancer but as he was undecided about Haspel he did send 'Bloody Gina' a letter in advance of her hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on her nomination by President Trump to be Director of the CIA. Senator McCain is the only senator who has himself actually been tortured having been subjected to torture during the Vietnam conflict after being shot down on a bombing mission and held over a five-and-a-half-year period by hostile North Vietnamese captors.
After whatever response Senator McCain received or prompted from 'Bloody Gina' Haspel by his letter he also was familiar with her hearing(s) before the Intelligence Committee during which she repeatedly refused to answer senators' questions as to whether she believed the brutal "enhanced interrogation techniques"(torture) such as at the Thai CIA Black Site of which she was in charge and at times immediately present for torture were "immoral."
In his statement linked to in the article here directly below urging his senate colleagues to reject Haspel's nomination, although calling Haspel a patriot he wrote "Ms. Haspel's role in overseeing the use of torture by Americans is disturbing. Her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying." (It is also worth noting that since Senator McCain wrote his statement Ms. Haspel's confusing account as to how she came to write a cable believing another party would decide whether to send it directing against orders the destruction of CIA video evidence of torture which Ms. Haspel very strongly wanted to destroy, that the other party since has contradicted Haspel's account of the circumstances of the resulting destruction of evidence directly against orders.)

'Bloody Gina' Haspel it has been revealed sought late the week before her hearing to withdraw her nomination over questions about her role in [an] agency interrogation program," including "to avoid discussing in a public setting her role in the agency's enhanced interrogation program, which many have likened to torture." (The Senate Torture Report as the name suggests HAS FOUND that the CIA interrogation program WAS torture, apart from the Washington Post misleading that some have "likened it to torture" in the article linked to directly below, coincidence or not journalists long have called for the Washington Post as a matter of journalistic integrity to disclose before each article about the CIA that the sole owner of the newspaper Jeff Bezos also has had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of annual contracts with the CIA for information storage which Mr. Bezos has chosen not to disclose with CIA articles.)
Some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee are opposed to Haspel's confirmation as CIA director "particularly over her role in the interrogation program implemented after Sept. 11, 2001, and for refusing to declassify documents related to her tenure at agency." A detainee was waterboarded 183 times over a period of torture when "Bloody Gina" was present until the completely inexperienced CIA torturers thought he was dead as well with waterboarding also being inflicted on a detainee before "Bloody Gina's" arrival at the Thai CIA Torture Black Site during all of which Haspel was in the senior leadership position in the torture program.
Despite being ordered later not to destroy any videotape evidence of the CIA's interrogation program once it was created Haspel nevertheless drafted an order to destroy all the videotape evidence as, to which she later came up with a dubious convoluted story that "she did not think the order would be cabled" unless otherwise ordered.
"But Haspel was a strong advocate within the agency for destroying the tapes, believing that were they to become public and reveal the identity of CIA interrogators [war criminals such as herself committing crimes against humanity] they could face reprisals from terrorists." Others present have said that is why the CIA torturers wore hoods. In any case it is fair to say that "Bloody Gina" Haspel has a lot she wants to keep secret almost twenty years later both from the Senate and the American people. Who although not exactly sure of what war crimes and crimes against humanity she may have committed in the CIA that must be even worse than those already known from the Senate Torture Report and other sources which acts get hard to imagine, that the People's representatives will accept "Bloody Gina's" promises tomorrow that she will not do whatever that was again but will behave herself lawfully as CIA Director and see that the rest of the CIA does the same.
And despite her claims as to why she drafted the cable ordering the destruction of the videotape evidence, she likely has been relieved if the CIA wearing of the hoods was in fact the truth anyway, because if what "Bloody Gina' said was right those vengeful terrorists may have very long memories on the matter as interviews with many CIA tortured innocents in The New York Times suggests the often permanent damage the CIA inflicted on their bodies and minds all to learn nothing valuable at all is not easily forgotten and likely reason enough to become a terrorist if one were not previously, and well now they can just look at the computer, newspaper or tv and there she is for all to see. Lucky for her that as one who is wanted in the World Criminal Court as a war criminal and for crimes against humanity "Bloody Gina" Haspel probably greatly prefers to stay within the relative safety of the homeland, as it were.

The Trump White House tries to play the bogus "woman card" to save "Bloody Gina" in sick desperation to sleaze through confirmation of this worst torture committing on-site war crimes head guilty of crimes against humanity and evidence destroyer in exploiting depraved Gina Haspel as "first woman" CIA director in the position after she wanted to back out afraid to remind the people of the of Haspel's and the CIA's heinous unpunished crimes in the Bush years. Trump lying is trying to con the America people with a last minute bogus pitch as if this is some sort of honor to women rather than what it really is which is a hard smack in the face of all women promoting a woman with the worst reputation sickening to all as pure evil in charge even personally taking part in the worst of CIA torture as some sort of ugly bogus women's honor.

"And Ye Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Free" -- John 8:32
President Trump on Tuesday nominated CIA veteran war criminal Gina Haspel to be the spy agency’s next director, tapping a woman who spent multiple tours overseas and is respected by the workforce but is deeply tied to the agency’s use of brutal interrogation measures on terrorism suspects in crimes against humanity. (Carolyn Kaster/AP) She actually is despised by the majority of the intelligence community who call her the “Wicked Witch of the West, without the charm.”
"To really appoint the head cheerleader for waterboarding to be head of the CIA. I mean how could you trust somebody who did that to be the head of the CIA." -Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said he will oppose her nomination.
"To really appoint the head cheerleader for waterboarding to be head of the CIA. I mean how could you trust somebody who did that to be the head of the CIA." -Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said he will oppose her nomination.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) the most familiar member of Congress with torture as he was subjected to years of torture as a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war has submitted a letter of questions to war criminal Haspel referred to above. Senator McCain previously was undecided as was Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) former chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee as to whether each would oppose war criminal Haspel's nomination to be Director of the CIA although Senator McCain per the above has come out against Haspel's nomination urging fellow senators to reject it.
"Her experience may have served her well as deputy, but the top position is another matter entirely." -Senator Dianne Feinstein who has asked that all of the 2014 Senate Torture Report related to Haspel's role in torture be declassified. Senator McCain has requested that the remainder of the 2014 Senate Torture Report be declassified.
Senator Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) the Intelligence Committee's vice chairman, told Haspel in a letter this week that her recalcitrance was "unacceptable."
War criminal Gina Haspel is Trump's new pick for director of the C.I.A. From 2003 to 2005, she oversaw a top-secret C.I.A. program that subjected dozens of suspected terrorists to sleep deprivation, squeezing them into coffins, and forcing water down their throats.
War criminal Gina Haspel was a central figure in one of the most illegal and shameful chapters in modern American history. She was up to her eyeballs in torture: both in running a secret torture prison in Thailand, and carrying out an order to cover up torture crimes by destroying videotapes.
The CIA must declassify and release every aspect of Haspel's torture record before considering the nomination.
