What war criminals?

Abu Zubaydah? As if a little waterboarding is too much for this monster.

On December 17, 2014, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights pressed criminal charges against unidentified CIA operatives, after the US Senate Select Committee published its report on torture by US intelligence agencies.

On June 7, 2017, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights called on the Public Prosecutor General of Germany to issue an arrest warrant against Haspel over claims she oversaw the torture of terrorism suspects. The complaint against her is centered on the case of Saudi national Abu Zubaydah.

Going to be funny watching the sides switch on this one.

With the republicans having the Senate packed and the pressure to not "go after" the possible first woman director I see this being a political football but that she'll be appointed.

LMAO @ the handwringing though. We drop 500lb bombs willy nilly, drone strikes that have a terrorist\civilian ratio of something worse than 10-1 and so forth....but heaven forbid we waterboard someone...that's bad!

Oh, and not a single admin has clean hands on this.

Why don't they go after guys who use power drill to deal with people? Have a talk with the terrorists, and ask them nicely to follow the rules.

They aren't wrong. Torture is wrong. And the good guys don't torture people. Period. We are supposed to be the good guys, no?
