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."

Not 9/11 you POS?
Is McCain back in D.C., or is Soros making statements in his name?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
I be sooooooooooooooooooooo scared.
(yawn)
STFU or come back to DC and WORK!
Yeah I wasn’t really sure about her until McShame just confirmed that she is one of the good guys.
We had to use enhanced interrogation techniques and it has been politicized and demagogued to hell and back.
Damn these traitors.
Somebody please give this communist loving Songbird a Pill. NOBODY was Tortured, Waterboarding is NOT Torture and All Military Recruits go through it as a matter of training.
Thanks mclame. Now move on.

Trump’s top choice for CIA director was a real life “Maya” who ran a CIA black site in Thailand.
Maybe she can, er, escort Cankles there.

Can John get someone to translate that testimony into Vietnamese in Sedona?
McCain has been torturing Americans his whole life.
Prove it was him and not someone speaking for him.
He is incompetent and should be declared so.
Says the “Songbird”.
On the contrary. It’s a ringing endorsement. If McCain doesn’t like her, then she’s perfect.
I’m much more confident in this pick now!

Yup.
McCain upset. Check!
WaPo upset. Check!
Looking like a good pick.
Why hasn’t this man returned to his job in DC? He should get off his lazy ass or if he is so damn sick, he should retire.
Yeah I think she should give McCain an “explanation” and a demonstration too
Hang him up by the ankles until he talks abut why he was the only officer who left the Forrestal while it was still burning and flew to Saigon for some R&R
How will it be explained when he dies five minutes after one of these “statements”?
“Bring out yer dead!”
“I’m not dead yet”
(whack)
“Thank you very much”.
