Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday condemned President Trump's decision to nominate Gina Haspel to become the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), saying she was involved in "one of darkest chapters in American history."
While he expressed confidence in current CIA Director Mike Pompeo's ability to serve as secretary of State, an appointment Trump announced earlier Tuesday, McCain said in a statement that Haspel needs to explain her stance on torture.
"The torture of detainees in U.S. custody during the last decade was one of the darkest chapters in American history," McCain said. "Ms. Haspel needs to explain the nature and extent of her involvement in the CIA's interrogation program during the confirmation process."

Sorry, John, she was waterboarding the enemy to help save lives of our service men and allies.
As a real traitor, as Songbird, in Nam, you caused your fellow Navy pilots to be shot down, killed or tortured by letting the Viet Nam, Russians and Chicom anti aircraft gunners know where and how low our pilots would be flying over Nam.

I attribute the condition of McCain’s mind to the years of torture in North Viet Nam. That kind of torture can lead to scrambled eggs for brains. Starting to sound familiar?

mccasin is unable to put a thought together as the malignancy eats his few remaining brain cells (if he is even alive). This his traitorous staff speaking.

"...reportedly, one of the detainees lost an eye due to being slammed against a wall. Thats mistreatment, if true." It would have been mistreatment only if both eyes AND both testicles had been popped (or gouged) out AND 10-lbs of pork had been sutured into his stomach in place of his appendix...
However, there is nothing possible that would qualify as mistreatment if the detainee is an obamsky or hitlary voter...

The TORTURE that McCain has put this country through is FAR WORSE than anything he had to deal with (particularly because he was singing) or even the ones at Abdul Grabbe.

“No John - the darkest chapters in Us history are when you rigged the savings and loan bail out. Followed by losing to Obama then selling out your own party for personal gain.”
You can add half a million Syrians dead by his actions regarding the civil war there.
