Today’s Action: Stop “Bloody Gina” from becoming CIA director
Time Magazine reports: in just over three weeks in August 2002, Abu Zubaydah was “waterboarded [simulated drowning] 83 times, suspended from hooks in the ceiling, forced into a coffin for hours at a time in a gathering pool of his own urine and feces…compelled to stay awake for days on end, and ‘rectally rehydrated.’” The CIA thought Zubaydah was a senior member of al Qaeda.
They were wrong – he was not, nor had he ever been, a member of the Taliban or al-Qaida.
And even if he had been guilty? A Senate report states the CIA interrogators knew what they had done to Zubaydah was likely illegal, and told their superiors his body would need to be cremated if he died under torture to hide the evidence.
All this and many more horrors at a CIA ‘black site’ prison in Thailand under the leadership of Trump’s new nominee for CIA director, Gina Haspel. How much more is unknown as Haspel signed an order to destroy the tapes, in direct violation of a federal court order.
We cannot allow the CIA to be led by such inhumane and intentionally-violent leadership. Call or email your Senators today and demand they reject the nomination of Gina Haspel for CIA director.
GOP defenders of Haspel claim she was simply following orders – literally invoking the “Nuremberg defense” used by Nazi criminals who committed unspeakable acts of torture and mass murder against the Jewish people.
Abu Zubaydah now suffers from regular and unexplained seizures, hears sounds others cannot hear and has had considerable memory loss. And he is just one of many that Gina Haspel – whose nickname in the CIA is “Bloody Gina” – oversaw through brutal and immoral acts of torture.

Haspel has proven herself to lack the moral conviction necessary to lead in our intelligence community. Email or call(202.224.3121) your Senators and demand they block Gina Haspel’s nomination for CIA director. Zubaydah lost an eye under CIA torture. Let us now keep ours open.
