The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 10-5 to support Gina Haspel's nomination today, despite the fact that her facilitation of torture under the Bush administration should disqualify her from assuming the role of CIA director. The full Senate will now make the final decision on Haspel, who has refused to state that torture is both immoral and illegal.
