Harris says Haspel unwilling to give full info

WASHINGTON (AP) – California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris says she remains concerned about CIA nominee Gina Haspel’s “commitment to transparency.”

The Senate intelligence committee voted 10-5 on Wednesday to recommend the full Senate confirm Haspel.

Harris and four other Democrats voted against her.

Harris says Haspel’s unwillingness to share more detailed information about the CIA’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques is “deeply troubling.” Haspel supervised a covert detention site in Thailand but has vowed never to allow the CIA to restart such a program in the future.

Haspel also drafted a cable ordering the destruction of videotapes depicting harsh interrogation of terror suspects after 9/11, although her boss actually sent the order.

No charges were filed, but Harris wants the Justice Department to declassify an investigative report into the matter.
