She can promise all she wants to not engage in torture again but should Trump ever decide to use torture as the Bush administration did, she'll do it again. The thinking that she will now have learned from her "mistakes" (war crimes) is ludicrous. She knew, as everyone else with a working brain knew, that torture was/is illegal and she did it anyway. And she'd do it again. She has shown the world who and what she is - why pretend otherwise?

Haspel headed the Thai prison interrogations where (at the time) al- Nashiri was waterboarded multiple times.

Just like the Germans who forced Jews into gas chamber. Their most common excuse was that they were just following orders.

If called on to perform torture, she have should stood on her principles and refused.

A other one of Trump's evil swamp critters..
