Look, I get it. People don't like Haspel for 2 reasons: One, we WERE doing ruthless things to prisoners, and it was sanctioned by the highest levels to do so, and she complied. Two, she's a Trump appointee.
BUT, I would note 3 things:
1. Trump didn't really pick her. Like Nicky Haley, she was suggested to him by people who advise him who might actually have a fucking clue. And some of his appointees have stood up to him, such as Tillerson (which was shocking), Rosenstein (REALLY shocking), Haley (not so shocking), and from her conduct, I bet Gina would too. Unlike Pompeo, who was NEVER a CIA guy before he was put in charge of it. Gina is, no matter how much you dislike her connection to Rendition and torture, an actual professional at her job.
2. She's a Career CIA agent. Not a rich schmuck that Trump picked out of a hat to dismantle the very agencies he wishes to destroy
3. It's not the Salvation Army. It's the fucking CIA. I EXPECT them to do cloak and dagger shit. Not sit around and sing songs about butterflies. I expect the FBI to be ultra ethical and super legal, I expect the NSA to be quasi ethical and fairly legal, but I expect the CIA to get the job done. If SEAL Team 6 had been super legal about what THEY do, Bin Laden would still be sitting pretty in Pakistan right now, watching TV.
