Gina Haspel lacks a moral compass.

This hearing is highly disturbing. I don't think I am alone in concluding that this woman is a sociopath. She lacks a conscience.
Her testimony reveals a cold and shameless woman.

Sadly, this is the kind of person republicans celebrate.

She has a lack of conscience in the way she views torture. She's a fast talkers, but she's disingenuous and her words are intended to cover up her past behavior and prevent anyone from knowing if she will act the same way in the future.

...where a "rainbows and unicorns" mindset/approach can - and does - get people killed. Gina Haspell is an extremely experienced operative who has worked in some of the most sensitive and dangerous areas the profession has to offer and she's eminently qualified for the position she's been nominated to.

Personally, I applaud and look forward to her appointment as the first female Director of the CIA.
