COMMENT TO AN ARTICLE IN MIDDLE EAST EYE
“White House blocks CIA chief from Senate briefing on Saudi Arabia: Report
“Gina Haspel prevented from briefing US senators on Saudi Arabia's involvement in Jamal Khashoggi's murder, the Guardian reports”
There really was no need for this.
The convention is well established, and never challenged, that the CIA may lie, even under oath.
This doctrine was first presented publicly by the CIA's Richard Helms in the wake of the Kennedy assassination.
And, remember, this dear lady, Gina Haspel, was a vital part of the CIA's kidnapping and torture scheme under the program called Extraordinary Rendition.
She ran a black site for the CIA Torture Gulag where victims were "rendered."
I think it very unlikely this creature would reveal anything that wasn't acceptable to reveal.
