Eisenhower, McArthur, and Patton all agreed water boarding was a barbaric war crime.

If you do a little digging on Gina Haspell you will find that the drivebys are all in for making her life hell. All you will read is that she worked at at black ops site and authored the memo that had all the video tapes of alleged torture be destoryed.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes a little digging but you will find this:

On the controversial side, The Post reported –Haspel was part of a group of CIA officials involved in the decision to destroy videotapes of interrogation sessions that left some detainees on the brink of physical collapse. She was then picked to run the CIA’s clandestine operations unit in 2013 –however the promotion was blocked due to her history of torture.

Ms Haspel was later cleared of any wrongdoing and officials said she had been following orders in destroying the tapes.

Key here is that: she followed orders and that's basically what she is guilty of not the rest of the BS that the drivebys are intent on putting on her.Once agian they have to lie to get any traction at all. trump has seen through all their jBS and my guess is we will as well.

Brennan is undoubtedly covering his butt hoping Gina or anyone else at CIA won’t expose him for the mad muzzie he is.

Well, we know that EVERY FEMALE in the Legislature will vote to confirm her for CIA Director.

Madeleine Albright said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.” Of course, that was referring to voting for Hillary, but Haspel has the same lady parts that PIAPS has (I assume).

anyone who is familiar with the culture of US forces during WWII recognizes this. The Army of WWII had a very different ethos compared to the current Army.

She has been there since the late 87 or so. She was not around when McLame was released.

Understood. It was my intent to subtly draw a contrast between their two histories - her’s positive and his negative - with the aim of demonstrating his criticism was likely nothing but projection. But, alas. {;^)

McCain has always been a spoiled brat flag officer’s son. I played ball in Germany and was a boy scout with two of them. I was senior patrol leader, and; the BG’s kid was a problem. The other had a 3 star (LTG) dad. He went to West Point. He was straight up.

He’s not a Muslim (at least I never saw any indication!) but he is an ass-hole!
