On Tuesday, top Democrat in the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., announced his support for President Trump’s nominee to head up the Central Intelligence Agency, Gina Haspel, after she sent a letter to Warner pledging to never engage in enhanced interrogation techniques if confirmed as the director.
“With the benefit of hindsight and my experience as a senior Agency leader, the enhanced interrogation program is not one the CIA should have undertaken,” Haspel wrote to Warner, noting she would “refuse to undertake any proposed activity that is contrary to my moral and ethical values.”
