Announced today with the pomp of the US President Donald Trump as a candidate for the post of director of the CIA, Gina Haspel already managed to anger the American public with her direct participation in the creation of the torture system. This was reported on a page on Twitter ex-employee of US special services Edward Snowden. So he commented on the post of the head of the White House on personnel reshuffles in the State Department and Central Intelligence Agency.

"Gina Hespel will become the new director of the CIA and the first woman chosen for this post. Congratulate everyone! "- wrote Trump on the web on March 13. "The new director of the CIA played a key role in the use of torture against suspects and in their illegal concealment. Her name is indicated in the top-secret decree, according to which all records (torture) must be destroyed in order not to get to the Congress.

Incredibly, "- indignant Snowden, attaching to the post a link to the article The New York Times on February 2, 2017. The edition then reported that in 2002, Gina Haspel watched the torture of two suspects in terrorism and later participated in the destruction of videotapes that confirmed violent interrogations in a secret prison in Thailand. Thus, according to the newspaper, one of the tormentors who fell into the clutches 83 times during the month was tortured by "water drowning", he was repeatedly beaten against the walls and subjected to other cruel methods before the investigators realized that he did not have useful information. All video of torture was kept on the US base in Thailand until 2005, when it was decided to destroy them. On the telegram of the corresponding order there was a personal signature of Haspel. Later today, Snowden suggested that this torturer probably will not be able to visit the countries of the European Union because of the possible arrest. "Interestingly, the new director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, who" tortured people ", probably will not be able to come to the EU to meet with the heads of other special services without the risk of being arrested because of a complaint by the Berlin ECCHR to the German prosecutor's office," Snowden said, citing information from Germany. It says that in June 2017, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) asked the German authorities to issue an arrest warrant for Khaspel in the case of torturing suspected terrorists in 2002. According to media reports, the cause was the case of Abu Zubaida, who was tortured 83 times in a secret CIA prison in Thailand.
