Trump’s New CIA Nominee, Gina Haspel, Faces Possible Arrest Warrant in Germany over Torture
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2018
- democracynow.org - On Tuesday morning, President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson via Twitter. In the same tweet, the president announced CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who is a close ally of the Koch brothers, would be nominated to become the new secretary of state. Trump also tapped CIA Deputy Director Gina Haspel to head the CIA. Haspel was directly involved in the CIA’s torture program under George W. Bush. She was responsible for running a secret CIA black site in Thailand in 2002 where one prisoner was waterboarded 83 times and tortured in other ways. Both Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel must now face Senate confirmations, but barring any Republican defections, both can be confirmed without any Democratic support. Last year, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights asked German prosecutors to issue an arrest warrant for Haspel for her role in the torture program. For more, we speak with Wolfgang Kaleck, founder and general secretary of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights.

Lock her up!!!
Immediately.
Disgusting that Herr Haspel is being considered. She needs to be in prison.
Frau, not Herr
Female serial killer who gathered other serial killers
NOT genuine female BUT secret MASONIC mtf transgender 'TRANSWOMAN PSYCHO-SOCIO PATH' originally born a boy with male DNA and turned to be fake woman by estrogen. So well-matched with highly well organized & orchestrated black-ops & crimes organization, CIA.
Not Sure
Peace be unto you...
What anti-Semitic hate crimes are you talking about...
My opinion about the realities from actual decisions Gina Haspel has supported with the prisons in Thailand, which were agreed upon to house kidnapped people and who were tortured and murdered by CIA operatives and CIA employed Thai citizens, is not any hate crime...
The Truth can never be hidden forever...
Only serial killers think and behave like that...
Hate crimes?
Please!!!
You don't even have an intelligible response because you are so emotionally driven that logic escapes you...

고맙습니다 ...
Really, some people are just too emotional in their responses...
Where is the logic?
Obviously, your logic is more respectable...
I do appreciate your analogy which makes so much sense to the intellectually, intelligent, logical mind...

Not Sure Damn, learn something new everyday. I didn't know Haspel was a Jewish surname. I doubt most people do. Your comment is probably a tactic that will be used to push this psychopath through.
You defenders of torture are, truly, some of the sickest people to ever exist. It's getting scary, knowing that so many psyhopaths live among us and control the levers of power.
Crimes against humanity rings a bell there a line if you cross it you should be held accountable.
Indeed, Haspel should be facing a long prison sentence instead of senate confirmation.
God help us.
thanks for covering this story
Ich danke Ihnen, Herr Kaleck, für diese Aufklärung. Was für eine schreckliche Frau! Man kann nur hoffen, dass sie entweder bald nach Europa reist oder wenigstens nicht vereidigt wird.
willcarism Okay, here goes: I thanked Mr. Kaleck for sharing his views and told him that I thought Gina Haspel was a terrible woman who will hopefully travel to Europe soon so she can be arrested.
Pompeo and Haspel...RIP America..
Damn... They're evil incarnate. Lock her torturous ass up, seriously I don't know how she can sleep at night, knowing the things she has seen and done.
She is insane. Sleeps well, dreams of bloody bodies. Wakes up happy. The pay is just an added bonus.
she was working in service of her country and president. she was protected from usa law, not global law.
she does sound like a wicked witch. i mean, i dont think she should have the job but trump is destroying the fbi one director at a time. she is eating the shit burger because trump is using the fbi to expand media coverage.
who gives a shit.
True, the US is a rogue nation when it comes to war crimes and the prosecution of American monsters. Maybe if she could enjoy torturing a little less?
Anyways, if she goes to Europe hopefully they'll arrest her.
this is actually all very common
babooshka
All of the people being appointed right now are deplorable human beings with a history of horrific acts. This is going to be really bad.
Bloody gina...this is insane. When and where will this end???
That quote from propublica was just indescribably sick.
Donald Trump continues to show everyone how to be an American Political Success, Promise Everything, and Deliver Nothing 😃...
"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. For, to be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists that control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery." - Octavia Butler
whats the matter lose your EBT ,HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
Jane Book I don't know anything about EBT. Why?! What do you know about it?!
This is really scary. What type of person, who is just doing their "job", could order the cruel torture of other human beings? I can't quite fathom it. It seems as though she went off the rails at some point.
Vive Germany
Sounds like she'll fit right in the Trump administration.
Seven Generations she comes from obama administration
How long has she worked at the CIA? How long was Obama president? Okay, math quiz. If you've passed the first quiz (Hint: 2018-1985= ??) go on to Question Two: Who appointed her in his presidential administration as Deputy Director of the CIA in 2017? (Hint: orange).
She worked at the CIA long before Obama was even Senator. The torture in Thailand happened under Bush. Obama didn't appoint her to any position in his administration (although John Brennan had her appointed as Acting Director of the National Clandestine Service, the appointment - by Brennan - was not a presidential administration appointment and was deterred due to objections about her tortured past). It was Trump who has appointed her (as Deputy Director, then Director of the CIA, and the Senate must vote on a confirmation): only then has she served in a presidential administration. While it's true Obama had some major fuck-ups, this one isn't his. The real problem here is actually Pompeo. He's Joe McCarthy re-born and will gladly violate every law and spit on the U.S. Constitution to serve his true masters, the Koch brothers, who are grooming him for a presidential run in the future.
“Torture has to be prosecuted everywhere in the world.” Gracias Don
Dealing with those profoundly destructive elements within our human family effectively, is a highly complex and extremely difficult task, requiring the people tasked with the job to do some very difficult things.
She needs to be prosecuted
Mike Pompeio has an amazing intellect?
Pompeo is a Trump sycophant that will LIE for the President to the American people. He and Haspel cannot be trusted to act in our best interest. Instead they will work in the best interest of our criminal President.
Pompeo kisses ass and makes a good Yes Man. This means "intelligent" to the moron president.
AMEN, WE HAVE NO JUSTICE HERE [yet]
"When Germany arrests the head of the CIA", has just replaced, "When Hell freezes over".
Shit floats to the top until someone pulls the handle.
Wonder if she was from an African country, like the Congo (DR) or Nigeria, would she already be charged & on trial for crimes against humanity?
Excellent program, Amy.
Yes, a psychopath, but who has been supporting her and her actions? Our own government acting in our name.
Thank you for covering this story. And thanks to the German officials who have taken on this important case.
So how can you file as a victim
Gracias
DAMN! One of the heads our Intelligence Agency's has an arrest warrant out for torture in another country? Thats some *3RD-WORD* & KGB shit!
An American satellite is never going to arrest one of its master's servants.
Deport her to Germany please. Let Wolfgang, uh, Dr. Strangelove, deal with her over there.
Haspel has the same problem Dick Cheney has. She cannot travel internationally for fear of arrest for war crimes.
Wonder if she was nominated so as to be exposed!!
I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.”. US President Harry S. Truman, 1961.
Thank you npr
if it helps save lives, then it's worth it!
It's like a rouge's gallery of criminals..
can wolfgang’s eyes be anymore evasive
Only the best people..
That's great I don't know if the American people know this but they have former government officials evading international law, of high level including Dick Cheney, and Henry Kissinger. Once our higher ups and government officials enacted laws that aspired to more then the ends justified the means. Our people had strengths to not sink to " emergency laws", at momentary crisis. Our betrayal of ideals has rippled out, we have put a stop to establishing an International Criminal Court, we have given a reprieve to mass genocide, in hopes that we are not next. America's laws once gave strength to the old to prosecute the Nazi in the Nuremberg trials only now we abandon those ideals, so they lay twisted for others to pick them up, look away heavens for hell rules our day.
lol she remind me of a grade school teacher
The show must go on for truth.... Donald j Trump is the SHOW & TELL of the worst of the worst of the REPUBLIC.... peace... silent prayer
The only way to protect ourselves from the Wolves, is to have bigger, more vicious Wolves. Glad she's on our side.
snowflake
Arrest warrant for DCIA? OK good luck with that.
Wolfgang Kaleck's book, "Double Standards: International Criminal Law and the West," was awarded the Hermann Kersten prize by the German PEN Centre for its “tenacious and intrepid commitment for the victims of state and non-state violence.” It's available online in its entirety.

He hires the best people.
Open arrest warrants won't be new to Dumps admin.
OMG! That's how the police talk to us when they grab us off the streets! Eerie!
Pure evil
NO Torture supporters
need apply.
From outside she may look bad but from inside she was task to protect America from trouble... now torture as mean of extracting vital information is correct or wrong ? Only those in the intelligence communities can definitely defined the said incident of Abu right or wrong...
welome to the Whitehouse..a perfect fit
Torture works especially with certain subjects. No one likes it but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking some people deserve it and some information is collected or collected faster through enhanced interrogation tactics some would consider torture.
Thry are worldwild its worldwild.thry just call IT gang stalking now
psycopath to psychopath they understand each other and works together for a psychpath world
torture = pointless
People who are willing to undertake Torture are Psychopathic ... Trump will love someone like that, as long as he doesn't actually have to do the torturing..
Same wave length as trump. “...Gina an outstanding person. Ha! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Why be selective and pick on the weakest link?
amy goodman is a national treasure
also tune into the majority report!
Bar is at Gauntonemo Bay
Did Trump know?
Walter Archibald, What difference does it make?, Trump is a poppet.
Three hours ago I really wondered if he might not have known. With time to think I remembered his call for torture. But, it is more than that. She could be arrested if she traveled abroad. What would happen then is hard to imagine.
Public Bukkake Boardings For Gina Haspel ! Let's see if she floats !
I clicked on teh like button and it acknowledged my vote but it did not change the total.
02:38 low energy pedo type can't make a case. Where'd you dig him up at...?
These Germans are so naive
Here's more Trump bullshit: " I know Putin very well. We were on 60 Minutes together. We get along well." "I know Mike Pompeo very well. Tremendous energy. "I know Gina Haspel very well. Great person." "I know Betsy DeVoss very well. High energy." "I know all the best people.: It's gonna be great." "I know Carl Icahn." "We have the best economy, maybe, ever." "I think I should be on Mount Rushmore." "I'm leading in all the poles." "I was elected by the greatest margin ever in the Electoral College." "I'm going to end the war in Iraq in one day." "I'm going to bring the jobs back from China." " I'm going to build a wall & Mexico is going to pay for it!" "I don't know Putin. I never met him." "Who knew healthcare could be this complicated.""I'm a very stable genius." If you would like a forensic psychiatrist's opinion on Donald J. Trump, buy & read THE DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP, edited by Dr. BX Lee, MD. In that book, 27 top psychiatrists write that Donald Trump "is too unstable to be entrusted with the life-and-death decisions of the presidency." If that doesn't work for you, try YouTubing "Dr.RJ Lifton Donald Trump Narcissism" & "Trump's Lies Compendium". Lifton says and writes that he thinks that Trump "veers in and out of psychosis." That means, at times, Trump is batshit crazy. For the best reality check video, UA-cam "Vincente Fox Gives Trump the Finger" while sayingm "Mexico is not going to build that fu@king wall."

Trump keeps refilling the basket with deplorables. Hillary was right!
Tom White Don't make this partisan, you don't see Dems denouncing her, do you? Schumer and many Neocon Dems love her.
What’s the matter with this guy? He barely looks into the camera.
