Did she get a life sentence like they demand today? I think not. There was a case where a husband and wife team at one of the famous camps in Germany were put to death by the Nazis for their extreme cruelty to prisoners.

“They NEVER mention her name in this article from 2014.”

Sorry, but that article positively reeks of fake news.

In one paragraph they say that a man is guilty, and in the next, accuse the CIA of extracting a “false confession.”

They state as fact that torture is ineffective.

With Democrats the narrative is always a façade. Democrats are only about one thing — power and control.

><

That’s the truth.
To Democrats, the truth is selectively what they want it to be.

“Haspel’s nomination was heralded by prominent members of the intelligence community, including Obama official James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence.

“I think the world of Gina; she is capable, smart, very experienced, well respected by the Agency rank and file, and a great person,” Clapper said in a post on the Cipher Brief, a global security website.

Clapper’s ringing endorsement did come with a note of caution: “I think Gina will be excellent as director, as long as she is ready to be fired at a moment’s notice.”

Clapper, and other former intelligence officials, said they expected Haspel would be confirmed for the position though it is not clear whether some Democrats will challenge her appointment.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who blocked Haspel’s promotion within the clandestine service, in 2013 signalled that she would vote for both Haspel and Mike Pompeo, Trump’s choice as the new secretary of state.”

Shep Smith just got done throwing a hissy fit saying it is a very controversial pick. He is off now. Wish Shep would come totally out of the closet and go to CNN already.

That’s true. Anyway, a woman isn’t a woman, and a black person isn’t black and a Hispanic person isn’t Hispanic...if they’re conservative. Go with the leftist program or you don’t count.

if President Trump had nominated Michael Obama they would have complained that he hadn't given the position to a woman.
