Once again MSN gets wrong

quote:

The story said that Haspel, a career CIA officer who President Trump has nominated to be the next director of central intelligence, oversaw the clandestine base where Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding and other coercive interrogation methods that are widely seen as torture. The story also said she mocked the prisoner’s suffering in a private conversation. Neither of these assertions is correct and we retract them. It is now clear that Haspel did not take charge of the base until after the interrogation of Zubaydah ended.

Bottom line, when her alleged misdeeds occurred enhanced interrogation was legal.

When she destroyed the videos there was no obligation to preserve them.

That's disappointing. I tend to support people that waterboard terrorist.

If you don't support that you probably support slave trading terrorists.

Damage already done

McCain and Paul have already said they won’t vote for her and that kills her in Senate

I don’t care if she water boarded or not.

Without water boarding, Osama bin Laden would still be enjoying computer porn in Pakistan.

Enhanced Interrogation worked and was legal.

Well there are still ex-CIA counterterrorism operatives who said that she was involved with that torture program. Of course, now this is just matter of which deep state member one wants to believe.

But if only there were some videos that could clear this up. That's right there were until Haspel destroyed them, reminiscent of a certain presidential candidate whose emails mysteriously vanished.

Regardless, it seems to me that since the deep state controls the information so we can't truly know the truth, maybe we should just find someone whose truth is only known by the deep state.

Chris Holton of the Center for Security Policy reported this morning on the erroneous accusation against Haspel by ProPublica, which he said is partially funded by Soros. He added that Haspel wasn't even in Thailand during the reported incident.

He also didn't have kind words for Paul who only yesterday repeated the false report as though it were true as a reason for his not supporting her appointment.

Holton went on to say that "Paul would prefer a 'pacifist' in the position."

Leftists are such assholes and hypocrites they paint any female not in lock step with their nonsense as crazy.

Examples:
Sarah Palin
This CIA Lady
Michelle Bachman
The FBI lady who got Mike Flynn canned when he stood up for her
Carly Fiorina
Margaret Thatcher
Marie LePen

The list goes on

They truly and completely suck, and their double standard is disgusting.

It's all Fake News.... They cook up all these bullshite stories to back they're agenda. They put it out there under an "anonymous source" and the public eats it up and a few days later they come back a slide a "we misreported, Sorry" and no one hears it nor cares to hear it. The damage is done! They just keep pushing bullshite and the public cannot help it...they just tell themselves some of it has to be true then they pass the word along. Not only that.... they ride it out to the bitter end and have no shame at all. They have the power to say it's over and until people buy into it enough it will never be over!
