WASHINGTON
(Sputnik) - Newly declassified records confirm allegations that newly
appointed CIA Director Gina Haspel supervised the torture of a detainee
and ordered the destruction of video evidence, the US National Security
Archive at George Washington University said in a press release.
US
Senator Dianne Feinstein, who oversaw the release of a CIA torture
report in 2014, and two other lawmakers on Wednesday criticized the
agency for refusing a request for more information about Haspel’s
background ahead of confirmation hearings.
"The Trump administration’s nominee to be CIA
director, Gina Haspel, personally supervised the torture of a CIA
detainee in 2002 leading to at least three waterboard sessions,
subsequently drafted the cable that ordered destruction of the videotape
evidence of torture," the release, citing newly-published declassified
documents, said.
