Snowden rips Trump's CIA pick over torture program

[DonViejo]

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/13/18 11:16 AM EDT

Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blasted the Trump administration on Tuesday for the selection of Gina Haspel to lead the CIA over Haspel's former management of black-site prisons.

In a series of tweets, the whistleblower, who fled the country after exposing classified information in 2013 about U.S. surveillance programs, attacked Haspel for her role in the 2002 torture of detainees at a CIA secret prison in Thailand.

8. I must be getting grumpy.

I don't like Snowden, Trump, Gina, Tillerson, Comey, Putin, Papaleo, etc...

3. Snowden is a traitor, but Haspel might be worse

Especially when it comes to American values. There are still classified reports that prevented her from an appointment in 2012 or thereabouts.

4. Is This Really Snowden

after all, one doesn't actually need to be alive to have a tweet put out in their name

9. lol +1 nt.

5. But surely Trump would have received permission from his boss, Putin ?

[OhZone]

7. Snowden is a traitor -

who probably helped Putin hack America and get Trump selected.

So anything Trump does, like making bad appointments, is partly on Snowden's head, which should come off, I would say.

Grrrrr.
