The new CIA director, Gina Haspel, is a torturer. But former CIA director John Brennan says, “She has tried to carry out her duties at the CIA to the best of her ability, even when the CIA was asked to do some very difficult things in very challenging times.” What a spectacular display of euphemisms. Had President Obama prosecuted Haspel and other CIA torturers at the time, she would have gone to prison. You wouldn’t think a grown man would do that.”Haspel was in charge of CIA torture for three years, starting in 2002, as the New Yorker has reported. Along the way, Zubaydah, who was waterboarded 83 times, lost an eye.
