Gina Haspel approved as director of the CIA

26
US senators on Thursday approved Gene Haspel as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), reports TASS.



54 senator from one hundred voted for her candidacy, 45 did not support the appointment of the legislators.

Only one person did not take part in the voting - John McKay, who was absent from the meeting due to illness.

“In this position, Haspel replaced Michael Pompeo, previously approved by the US Secretary of State. She also became the first in stories The United States is a woman - the director of the CIA and only the second personnel officer of the department, who served in this position, ”the publication says.

Recall, the decision of Donald Trump to nominate the post of director Haspel caused a controversial reaction in the senate because of her connections in the past with the so-called “expanded interrogation program”, during which torture was used.

Democratic senator Mark Warner even sent her a separate message asking for clarification of her position on this matter. The candidate for the post replied that the CIA actually should not have applied such methods, even despite the valuable information obtained.

This program ultimately brought harm to our employees and our position in the world,
she said, which attracted both Warner himself and his party members to her side.

          Looks like a slightly aged Nabiulina

          the sanctions attack on the ruble is carried out by the United States, and the department of Elvira Nabiullina reinforces it many times, withdrawing huge funds from the Russian economy and buying up green American candy wrappers in huge quantities.

          .... maybe they are with Haspel sisters ......? recourse

        Because for 15 years her work was somehow dedicated to Russia, she knows the working methods of the Soviet and Russian special services (80-90s, true), she is considered the best analyst on political processes in Eurasia ... Well, something like Trump: the same reckless and unscrupulous.

        Why a pervert? Where does infa come from? Interrogation with an addiction is certainly not the most honorable thing, but it is also necessary. Incidentally, the mere fact of participating in express interrogations does not make her a pervert. request

          Controversial logic. The fact of participating in orgies makes a woman er .... m .......... different? Here the situation is the same. A lot of women participated, but with special love and passion it was she. Which earned recognition and admiration. horror etc. depending on who rated.

          I don’t know what kind of upbringing you received, and, all the more, I didn’t go into the details of the perversions of those involved in interrogations, but I know for sure that not every normal person is able to endure bullying of his kind. I doubt very much that the former morgue workers, pathologists, or simply cemetery workers "registered" in the government of any country. Not to mention goldsmiths or slaughterhouse workers ...
          Rape victim (possible). On the face is hatred of the male sex and envy of the happy part of the female ... Just imagine that the grandmother, who educates (educates) her little grandchildren, is present during torture between meetings with them ... request

            This grandmother has such a job. If you live in a world of rainbow ponies, pooping like a rainbow, then of course there isn’t such a thing. Bullying is for sadists. And getting the necessary information from someone who does not want to give it using violent methods is just the work of special services. I don’t want to hurt your child’s psyche, but they still sometimes kill people. Horror is simple, right? belay

    Yes, it seems that 15 years of her career are connected with Russia, although not everything is developing in time. Linguist by education, learned Russian and Turkish. We worked undercover.

    I consider this election to be the crown of "new reforms" in the USA! This is the moment that can distinguish politics from clowning! Not only has the UN become a laughing stock thanks to the Americans, but the Americans are doing everything to be perceived as "clowns."

    That's right. It is just a job. Moreover, as the head of the cat-eye prison in Thailand, she was present at interrogations. She gained fame after the circumstances of the interrogation of some figure from al-Qaida became known. The meaning of these "bullying" was that he was tortured for 2 weeks or 3 weeks with water (83 times claimed), placed in a "small-format" solitary confinement, prevented from sleeping, and beaten. As a result, he lost his eye. But still "split"

    And what about the "express interrogations" using the "third degree", then sorry, and our specialists are trained to "split" the soldier or officer of the enemy army that fell into their hands. At the same time they do not persuade: "Well, please say ....". And they "stab" with all available means. Moreover, these people are not sadists .... Well, then, of course, they eliminate the "waste material"
