ProPublica has issued a correction for mistakenly saying in an article that Gina Haspel, President Trump’s nominee to head the CIA, was involved with the treatment a terror suspect and falsely stated she mocked the suspect. Although Haspel, who has been with the CIA since 1985, was in charge of a covert CIA prison in Thailand where detainees were subject to waterboarding and other interrogation methods in 2002, the ProPublica story falsely stated she was directly involved with the torture of a prisoner by the name of Abu Zubaydah. Zubaydah was waterboarded at the CIA prison on 83 occasions.

“It is now clear that Haspel did not take charge of the base until after the interrogation of Zubaydah ended,” ProPublica said in the correction Thursday.

Pro Publica was forced to admit that their story slandering Trump nominee Gina Haspel was an out and out lie.

The rest of the fake news media have not corrected their stories.

Zubaydah was waterboarded at the CIA prison on 83 occasions.

And reportedly gave up invaluable intel on the bad guys as a result.

"falsely stated she mocked the suspect."

Heaven forbid we should ever mock a captured terrorist!!!! Oh, the horror, the horror....

[Ouderkirk]

No, on Day One we need to pepper his room with used tampons (or what looks like used tampons), excepting one small corner in which he can stand. On Day two, let a pig loose in his room. On Day Three, sit him in a chair, restrain him, draw a vial of blood from the pig, hold it up to his arm and ask, “Do you have anything you’d like to tell me?”

Works very well...

You underestimate our opponents. They are allowed to do anything in the name of Jihad. They can violate all of the Christian commandments in the name of Jihad.

They can eat pork, commit adultery, lie, cheat, steal, murder, and all is forgiven if they do it in the name of Jihad.

They are believers, not superstitious pagans.

When are rand paul and the rest of the pride filled elites going to apologize for their bearing false witness.
