Gina Haspel is a great choice for CIA director

I like that a woman has a SPINE....and not just about KILLING THEIR OWN KIDS IN UTERO!

[luvbach1]

Sounds like a very good choice.

I think water boarding is torture, albeit not the worst one can imagine. One of the chief terrorists endured it 83 times so he must have been used to it. And one should remember these were murderous terrorists, not innocent bystanders.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I wish CNN could explain how we can be too tough on terrorists. A terrorist by definition has resigned from the human race and deserves no mercy.

She sounds like a real patriot. I love my President and my Republic, and appreciate all who serve to protect our Liberty.

[Uncle Miltie]

Brennan likes her?

Uh oh.

[Reily]

Brennan is not going to immediately criticize the first female CIA director. (He’s way too PC to do that right away!) She is a Jose Rodriguez protégée so she’s a good pick.

[Lumper20]

I think we need input from the black OPS guys.

Zero Dark Thirty meets the real world......

[Arm_Bears]

If water-boarding saves the life of one US service member, it’s worth it.

GWB was too much of puss to defend it.

[marktwain]

Brennan supports her... not a great sign.

Hope she is as advertised.

[thinden]

Ultimately, it is telling that former CIA directors from John Brennan to Mike Hayden are lining up behind Haspel’s nomination. They recognize that Haspel retains the trust of her workforce and the competency to objectively represent its products and interests at the White House.

Brennan support is a red flag.

Proceed with caution

“Gina Haspel, probably hates Obama and Brennan”:

Thanks to Helicondelta for finding the above.

[Pinkbell]

So does Clapper.

Sigh.

Why can’t we have Rudy?

[iontheball]

I have always advocated you need a line agent, someone who has been in the trenches, who has gained the respect of rank and file to command wild stallions. It is true in the Marine Corps, and true in law enforcement.

[frog in a pot]

I think we need input from the black OPS guys.

Agreed, but it is probably not readily forthcoming for at least two obvious reasons.

But we can measure the screeching and outrage from the left. And for balance, there is this from John McCain who lambasts Trump for the appointment: "...she participated in 'one of the darkest chapters in American history.'” Some would say he was thinking of his own history when he uttered that thought.

[Newtoidaho]

Such a shame that in real life Jessica chastain is a blazing libtard.

[jazminerose]

So we use torture on our own soldiers during SEER training?

Methinks you need to do do some research on how water boarding is actually done.

[morphing libertarian]

Is she wearing a hijab?

I know how it's done. I've seen video of it. That is simply my opinion.
