She did it before - and destroyed evidence contrary to orders - and she'll do it again.
She even defended what she did, mostly evaded questions, appeared angry at those who questioned her, and generally behaved like someone the Duce might like but the rest of us should not.
I would rather she was fired in dishonor than rewarded by being made director of the agency.
Gina Haspel Vows at Confirmation Hearing That She Would Not Allow Torture by C.I.A.
Why would we believe that when she spoke as reported below?
Trump CIA pick: The real ‘tragedy’ of torture was people criticizing it
Gina Haspel, Trump’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), may have shown her true colors Wednesday morning, when she lashed out during her confirmation hearing after being faced with concerns about the Bush-era torture program.
Haspel opened the hearing with the hollow promise not to reinstate the Bush-era torture program that she helped oversee and cover up, but repeatedly refused to say she believed it was wrong.
When Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) pressed her on reports that she supported expanding the torture program when it was being wound down, Haspel lashed out.
Wyden said he was “troubled” by Haspel’s apparent confirmation that she supported expanding the program, and Haspel responded by boasting that she wasn’t “on the sidelines” after 9/11.
“I think we did extraordinary work,” Haspel said.
“To me, the tragedy is that the controversy surrounding the interrogation program — as I’ve already indicated to Senator Warner, I fully understand that — but it has cast a shadow over what has been a major contribution to protecting this country.”
