No, torture is not a pro.


I suspect it was a pro for Trump.


It was considered a pro by a vast majority of Americans in the aftermath of 911.


Cite?


Yep, and the dems were on board and wanted more severe techniques to be employed.


You need to brush up on the Administration that authorized Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, commrad.

Really? Most Americans favor torture techniques? I’d like to see that poll.

However, is this designed to get a non-confirmation of Haspel and then a confirmation of Cotton? Cotton is awful.


Yeah I find this pick curious. Pompeo was pretty unpopular at the agency, so amazing my people I know in the intelligence community, this nomination came as a bit of a relief, even if she’s not their first choice.


Sorry that should have read among people I know

Take a look around who he has appointed. You will see your answer.


Grizzy fan Betsy DeVos? Mitch's wife Elaine Chao?


Massive bungler of Hurricane Katrina response Kirstjen Nielsen?


God forbid we blame the New Orleans mayor, who was convicted for corruption. He’s black, so hands off!!


Or the female governor.

It's especially not a pro if you were in charge of torturing two people who didn't know anything, and then you tried to cover up the evidence.

Multiple people bungled the response to Hurricane Katrina. One of them was Ray Nagin, who is currently not a Cabinet secretary in the Trump administration. Another person was Kirstjen Nielsen, who is.
