Rand Paul thinks that Haspel is a protegee of John Brennan. That’s not good news if true.
Waterboarding is a moot point. It’s no longer in place, so it can’t be abolished. If it’s being implemented, it’ll be in some third-world aligned hole where the spooks normally do much worse, and nobody would know about it, and the brass don’t mind so long as they have deniability. Besides, it’s not all that effective, I’ve heard, because it’s not hard-core enough.
You know...it’s torture if places like Guantanamo aren’t ran like a Holiday Inn.
I see your point and it’s a good one.
Waterboarding is just a catchy Virtue Signal that the ‘Rats send out to their dopey base...and also John McCain, LOL!
There are PLENTY of other effective torture techniques, as anyone who has spent ANY amount of time in the military already knows.
So? No more waterboarding...that we’ll ever HEAR of again. ;)
Just because the CIA doesn’t put a towel over someones mouth and pour water on their face, doesn’t mean that one of our intel partners won’t.
But is it possible that she is a swamp creature?
What did she know about Obama's plot to SPY ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, THEN PRESIDENCY and WHEN DID SHE LEARN ABOUT IT?
Rand Paul has a point. He asked her in writing what she knew about Brennan spying on the Trump campaign and on the transitional presidency. Paul also thinks that Hasprey was a Brennan protegee. I am not altogether sold on her.
yeah i dunno- my spidey senses are acting up for some reason over her- maybe it’s nothing- but I just didn’t like how she caved like she did- maybe I’m overly cautious, and perhaps it was just a strategic capitulation to get the votes- but i dunno-
I knew/know nothing about her.
She had two things going her:
1. The rabid treatment by the hate America mediots on tv and our fishwrap bsers.
2. The same treatment by the Hate America Democrats.
“I can’t think of a reason.”
That’s easy. Because...Trump.
I would have also asked her what is the evidence for "Russian meddling" other than a few dumb FB ads and posting bots. But of course she would not have given a real answer.
F McCain. Of all people he knows what REAL torture is. He’s just being a dick to the bitter end. He looks for every opening where he can gum up the works.
“I didn’t like her caving on the waterboarding issue- said ‘it never should have happened’-”
Darn now we’ll have to let someone else do it for us...and maybe a little more rigorously in their own ways. Perhaps the Comanche, Jicarilla Apache, Navajo, or Oglala Sioux nations would oblige? I’m sure Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia etc would be delighted to help.Nothing like a little threat of rendition to start a conversation.

Excellent!
Same thing.
