Why would CIA employees lie on her like that?

Not sure they did.

From your last post, ProPublica says their false account was fed to them by 'three former government officials'...that could be any number of people from the Obama administration national security team.

We also found an online posting by John Kiriakou, a former CIA counter-terrorism officer, who wrote that “It was Haspel who oversaw the staff” at the Thai prison, including two psychologists who “designed the torture techniques and who actually carried out torture on the prisoners.”

This could be factual. She may have supervised the "torturers" AFTER the incidents once she took over the base.

Correction: Trump’s Pick to Head CIA Did Not Oversee Waterboarding of Abu Zubaydah.

After much perusal. I conclude that the main perpetrator of this lie is the publication I posted above, which retracted their allegations. They took comments from books, CIA postings on social media and concocted the wrong story. They lay it out pretty good how they got it wrong.

The CIA, of course, is reluctant to comment to the press about CIA operations or agents, so they are at a disadvantage when the press hounds come calling. It will all shake out in the hearings. And the dems will again look like the idiots that they are. Rand Paul too, unless he gets his head out of his ass.
