Ed Markey: Gina Haspel Engaged Herself in ‘Barbaric,’ ‘Inhumane’ Conduct

EXCERPT:

MARKEY: "And Gina Haspel was actually in charge of the program in Thailand where the United States sent people who we had captured, Al Qaeda people who had been in our possession, and sent them to Thailand where enhanced interrogation techniques were used against those prisoners and Gina Haspel then subsequently oversaw the destruction of more than 90 tapes which were taken of the enhanced interrogation or torture of those prisoners. So I just think that for the United States to nominate someone to run the CIA, who has engaged herself in conduct which is barbaric, which is inhumane, and which has been proven to be ineffective is just the wrong signal to be sending to the rest of the world that the United States is no longer the moral leader that the rest of the world can depend upon.”
