> When presidents such as #BillClinton, #BarackObama, #DonaldTrump, and #JoeBiden nominate individuals who clearly lack integrity, it creates #cynicism at the very institutions these individuals are asked to lead. This was certainly true at the #CIA in the cases of Woolsey, Gates, and #GinaHaspel, and it will be true at a less well-known institution such as the Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy.

@ghelt From the abstract: "In this article, we argue that the government’s post 9-11 torture program was a big lie, in that the designers, executors and enablers knew all along that torture does not elicit reliable information."

As a former CIA Analyst opposed to torture, have u read the book Watchdogs Didn't Bark? https://www.salon.com/2018/09/11/outing-the-cias-alfreda-bikowsky-an-excerpt-from-the-watchdogs-didnt-bark/

#NYT asserts evidence that "psychologists" James E. Mitchell and John Bruce Jessen are both #USWarCriminals - the torture of POWs is a #WarCrime.

#GinaHaspel was responsible in chain of command; but NYT does *not* call for a war crimes trial under #UniversalJurisdiction in a 3rd-party country.

The good news (final line of article): #Haspel promised not to do it again!

Hopefully #Putin and #Assad will also promise not to do it again.

Whew! For a minute there I thought #ginahaspel was going to miss the final act

Is #GinaHaspel still on the job? and what was she doing in Rome in October of 2019?

It seems a bunch of people went to Rome that autumn.

If #GinaHaspel decided to close NAS, could we sign in still and just see the fediverse (no local) with our accounts?

@marktwo and #GinaHaspel ? I have been concerned for her for some time now.

If you look up how the fire started at Notre Dame, you get just as much data as you would if you asked "Where is #GinaHaspel ?"

@blitzed wait! Does this mean #ginahaspel is not dead?

No really, has #GinaHaspel worked in the office over the last month? We all know that the various secretaries have assured us that she is there, but is there something besides this convincing testimony to show she is not six feet under? or gitmo, or whatever?

@radix023 #ginahaspel

I had a theory that #GinaHaspel had taken a camping vacation to unplug and stay out of the spotlight.... You don't think that was her rv do you? Oh perish the thought.

@Truckdriver3 this was to divert resources from responding to another crime... Which crime is it? What is in Nashville? A hub that is getting robbed on Christmas...a shipment that was too escape scrutiny by being shipped in Christmas, that has moved from one bad actor to another...btw, what did #GinaHaspel get for Christmas? Was she involved?

Is #GinaHaspel on PTO or has anybody seen her or are will still trusting the CIA when they say she is going to work?

Attorney General Bill Barr says there was “no CIA misconduct” in the Trump-Russia spying scandal in his latest interview.

Thank goodness...I had thought something negative had happened to #GinaHaspel, but everything seems to be okay dokey

@IcyGrillz agreed.... And #GinaHaspel is just fine... No problem

@Johnny_of_the_swamp Does this mean fuck #GinaHaspel too?

I hate to say this, but she was eaten by a giant sea monster.

Given the lack of evidence, I conclude the following :: #GinaHaspel was in fact eaten by a legendary sea monster of gigantic size. After the raid in Germany, she escaped by launch to a submarine waiting off shore. Once in the North Sea, the transfer, in 25ft seas between the sub and an Irish fishing boat was interrupted as the Kraken wrapped a 65 foot tentacle around her body, pulled her from the transfer rope, and ate her in 4 quick bites. This is as true as anything else.
