John McCain calls on Senate to reject CIA nominee Gina HaspelWashington Examiner, May 9, 2018, Al Weaver
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called on the Senate to reject Gina Haspel's nomination to become CIA director Wednesday, charging that she was unable to address concerns with her role in the use of enhanced interrogation techniques during the Bush administration.
"Today, Gina Haspel testified before the Senate and to the country about her qualifications to lead the CIA. This occasion provided an opportunity to provide details about her experience in the CIA, explain her involvement in the so-called enhanced interrogation program during the Bush Administration, and account for the mistakes the country made in torturing detainees held in U.S. custody after the September 11th attacks," McCain said in a statement, referring to Haspel's confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Unfortunately, the testimony the American people heard from Ms. Haspel today failed to address these concerns." ...
"Her refusal to acknowledge torture’s immorality is disqualifying," he added. "I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination."
