Former CIA official rips senators' 'collective amnesia' after Gina Haspel questioning

Philip Mudd, a former CIA official, blasted senators reticent to confirm CIA director nominee Gina Haspel over her work at the agency said to involve the use of torture, despite CIA’s enhanced interrogation program being discussed with Congress at the time.

“You can vote against Gina Haspel, but don’t give me the collective amnesia about how it’s on CIA. I want to talk to the senators who told us that they represented American values, [but] now that we don’t face the same threat and that we have different senators, it’s Okay to attack one of my former colleagues,” Mudd, also a CNN commentator, told the cable news network.
