Haspel: Trump selects a torturer to head the CIA

[CORed]

I like to believe that this is more 4D chess by Trump. As he can do to a topic with a simple tweet, with a simple nomination all the ugly Bush-era torture topics Obama swept under the carpet are back on stage again.

I'm pretty sure Trump can't play 2d chess, because he never quite got the hang of how the horsey thing or the pointy-headed thing move.

I suspect whoever taught him to play chess just taught him "jacks" using chess pieces.

Don't her supporters find it embarrassing if every aspect evokes an analogy with Nazis?

Why? being associated with Nazis is a good in with this administration.

Well, they are apparently fine people you know. Or so we've been told.

So Haspel accepts that her actions in the past were illegal, but we should all get past that because she was only following orders and that makes illegal actions OK.

Rule of so.

Rule of rule of so.

And it is even better, it is a misapplication of the rule of so because it is not attributing that position to anyone as a logical extension of their position. It is at most slightly sloppy phrasing.

Body of work.

At least we know now that the new leader of the CIA believes that the CIA is not bound to follow the law and there should never be a consequence for any of those who work for it when they break the law.

So she really fits in with the general contempt republicans have for the law. I see her nomination to be easy.

And of course it turns out the article pt linked doesn't say what he claims. Sloppy phrasing? More like sloppy fibbing. Body of work indeed. It's a sad day when you're reduced to strawmanning even your allies.
