No way she's getting confirmed as the new CIA director, right?

Gina Haspel, The CIA’s New Director, Ran a Black Site for Torture

Quote:
IN MAY 2013, the Washington Post’s Greg Miller reported that the head of the CIA’s clandestine service was being shifted out of that position as a result of “a management shake-up” by then-Director John Brennan. As Miller documented, this official — whom the paper did not name because she was a covert agent at the time — was centrally involved in the worst abuses of the CIA’s Bush-era torture regime.

As Miller put it, she was “directly involved in its controversial interrogation program” and had an “extensive role” in torturing detainees. Even more troubling, she “had run a secret prison in Thailand” — part of the CIA’s network of “black sites” — “where two detainees were subjected to waterboarding and other harsh techniques.” The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on torture also detailed the central role she played in the particularly gruesome torture of detainee Abu Zubaydah.

There's more.

The New C.I.A. Deputy Chief’s Black-Site Past

Quote:
Haspel, a career C.I.A. employee, took part in another of the agency’s darkest moments: the destruction, in 2005, of video tapes of the interrogation of Zubaydah and a second suspect, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, at whose torture she was present, three years before.

So, y'all are against women in powerful jobs? Isn't that sexist?

I know.... Imagine the horror when they learned a woman that knows where all the Clinton body count is buried, is now in charge of Trumps "wet work"

Jamie's got a gun... as the song goes.

I don't care for war criminals regardless of gender.

But I thought Hillary just told everyone, on her trip to India, that Trump hated giving jobs to women? And that we women who voted for him were bullied by our bosses, husbands and sons to vote for him and not her?

I'm confused. Can some man help me?
