The fact that Gina Haspel oversaw torture while a CIA officer is only
part of the problem, writes Phil Giraldi. A bigger problem is that no
one at the top in Washington is ever
accountable. He adds, "Haspel’s willing participation in running a black
site prison where torture was carried out was illegal then just as it
is illegal now, no matter what some slimy government lawyer whose job
depended on pleasing his boss the president might have said. Gina Haspel
could have turned the assignment down if she was bothered by what was
going, but ambition drove her to accept the position and all it entails,
making her current disavowing of torture a bit hard to accept."
