Gina Haspel, the proposed Director of the C.I.A., “oversaw the torture of two terrorism suspects and later took part in an order to destroy videotapes documenting their brutal interrogations” (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/us/politics/cia-deputy-director-gina-haspel-torture-thailand.html). Her behavior is abhorrent and unacceptable. Haspel cannot be confirmed as C.I.A. Director.
