Also the first woman to the lead the agency’s clandestine service, which oversees the agency’s spying worldwide, Haspel has held numerous senior leadership positions and served as Chief of Station in multiple overseas assignments.

Her selection was met with praise from former senior intelligence officials.

Excellent!  She knows what she is doing!

[Just_Victor]

I'm sure the mysogonist is only doing this because she's eye candy, right?






<\sarcasm >   just in case.

Outrageous. Is Donny aware that this person is a woman? This is unconstitutional. We need to start with impeachment proceeding right away!

[ABX]

Obviously this was an affermative action hire bowing to political correctness..

Just kidding... channeling TOS. I'm sure she is completely capable. The CIA doesn't mess around.

What did Laz say over at "you know where" about her.

That's no answer.  Laz would hit warm mud.

I can't find any photos of her so I doubt Laz would know what to do with his hit it scale. It seems she is good at staying out of the limelight and camera lens, good for her career. Even Cryptome says photo not available for her.

   She has been completely scrubbed from the interwebz, which begs the question, Does she even exist at all?

Cryptome has some addresses, background info, and even a few director review reports, but not much. She obviously isn't running around taking selfies and posting pictures of her cats on facebook. :)

I bet she can make people <gulp> disappear.   Don't make her angry

Reminder

Trump is a supporter of affirmative action. He dissed Scalia over the issue.

Haspel’s career has not been free of controversy, however.

She has been linked her to the CIA’s "enhanced" interrogation program, mentioned repeatedly in the 6,000-page report by the Senate Intelligence Committee detailing the agency’s use of techniques widely considered torture.

In 2002, a female officer believed to be Haspel reportedly ran a secret prison in Thailand where two detainees were subjected to waterboarding and other interrogation techniques used to get information from captives following the Sept. 11 attacks.

She has also been linked to the 2005 destruction of video recordings of those interrogation sessions — a high-profile incident that prompted a criminal investigation but did not result in charges.

Cue the rioters.

Claims like this will be popping up...

[dfwgator]

But.....but......but.......Trump hates women!

Looks like she is qualified for the job!

My daughter, along with two other women and three men were tortured by the Bush Admin.

Yes, now the truth can be told. In fact, Bush regularly tortured members of the American Military under a nefarious program called (insert creepy organ music...

SERE.

So if chicks can survive it, so can terrorists.

I have a friend who is a S.E.R.E. Master Survival Instructor (USAF).  He's a very patriotic guy, he's just not very sane.

Probably from dealing with the absurd enviro crap they have to follow. Like only officers killing dinner.

I wonder if he's the dude that waterboarded my kid? She was USAF. Hell I owe him a beer. Can't count how many times I wanted to do it myself in her teenage years. Damn Air Force beat me to it!
