Shocker, Democrats are attacking the person and record of Gina Haspel like a pack of rabid dogs.

At the time Gina Haspel was carrying out her orders, former CIA Director John Brennan was then the number 4 man at the CIA. Heck, it's likely he had to sign off on everything she did. I must have missed the part in his own confirmation hearings, where Democrats grilled him mercilessly about his role in waterboarding. The practice of which BTW, was signed off on by Democrats in power at the time. But just as in the case when opportunistic Democrats who had just voted for and even spoke out on the floor of the Senate in favor of the Iraq Resolution, and whom suddenly blamed those devious Republicans for tricking them into it. They're at it again.

Republicans are the ones to whom black America owes the abolishment of slavery here in this land, because Dems spoke out in opposition to the end of slavery in famously vehement tirades in the Congress. Today, some of the very same Dems, (and a few new ones) who did not have any particular problem with waterboarding at all when they okey doked waterboarding in the first place and then saw the practice implemented in the field, suddenly realized another opportunity to make political hay and reversed their position yet again. John Brennan, to whom Haspel reported, had no trouble getting confirmed as CIA Director. But then, at the time there was not yet any notions of an organized 'resistance.'

Worse. In the DOJ of Barack Obama's era, under the direction of Eric Holder and upon his appointment, a special counsel pursued Gina Haspel and others in an attempt to prosecute them for torturing our enemies via the enhanced interrogation technique called waterboarding. The verdict? The actions of her and everybody else, completely honorable. Incredibly however and following that travesty, Michael Morrell acting Deputy Director of the CIA, ran Gina and others through the laundry yet again via an internal investigation into their actions. Again they were cleared of any wrong doing whatever. Now to be clear, the technique was legal at the time. AFTER bleeding hearts decried the practice loudly enough the practice was abandoned and made from that time forth, illegal. So what did heavy weight Dems do? They attempted to prosecute loyal agents of the State for actions which at the time they had signed off on. Folks that's called moving the goal posts, and it's shameful.

Now Dems are at it again in the case of CIA Director Nominee Gina Haspel. I hope she sticks to her guns, "stays the course," and becomes the next Director.
