Gina Haspel will be Trump’s nominee to run the CIA.
She tortured people, ordered people to torture people, and destroyed evidence in an attempt to conceal this from Congressional oversight.
This is an outrage, but I want to make the point that LANGUAGE MATTERS.
The term is torture. It is not “Harsh Interrogation,” or “Enhanced Interrogation,” or even, “Plaster of Paris Bagel and Cream Cheese Paperweight,” IT IS TORTURE.
There is simply no excuse for calling it anything else.
If you concede the language, you concede the argument.
Gina Haspel is a torturer, and she should be spending the rest of her life in a cell at The Hague.
