Rand Paul: Gina Haspel Was ‘Gleeful’ About Torture and This Is Not Who We Need to Lead the CIA

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "Well, there was a book written about the torture treatment, the waterboarding. Some of her comments were basically gleeful. The man can’t breathe and he's choking on saliva and water and she's saying, 'Oh, you are a good actor. I can’t believe a grown man is crying because of this treatment.' And it almost seemed to be a little bit of glee in her voice, that she actually enjoyed the torture. I think that’s not who we need to lead the CIA. There are many career officials at the CIA who would be perfectly competent to do this, but we should not reward somebody who actually participated in torture treatment. Remember they went to Thailand to do this because it's illegal in the United States."
