Dan Boylan at the Washington
Times offers a piece on the former senior U.S. Government officials who support
Gina Haspel, the CIA director nominee.
More than 50 former senior
U.S. government officials from across the political spectrum have united to
endorse President Trump’s nominee for CIA director, Gina Haspel, a veteran of
the clandestine agency and its current deputy director.
Three former directors of
national intelligence and six former CIA directors were among the 53 that
signed a letter sent Monday to the leaders of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, which is expected to soon hold her confirmation hearing.
“Ms. Haspel’s qualifications
to be CIA director match or exceed those of most candidates put forward in the
agency’s 70-year history,” the former officials said, adding that they
expressed their “strong support” for her candidacy.
If confirmed, the Kentucky
native would be the first-ever woman to lead the agency.
