Gina Haspel

Gina Cheri Walker Haspel , formerly an American intelligence officer, served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 2018 to 2021. The first woman to hold the post on a permanent basis, she had previously worked as the deputy director (in office: 2017 to 2018) under Mike Pompeo during the early days of Donald Trump's presidency.She became acting director following Pompeo's resignation in April 2018 and was nominated by President Donald Trump to become the permanent director. On May 17, 2018, she was confirmed as director, becoming the first woman to serve in the role. She was officially sworn in on May 21, 2018. She had been the second female deputy director of the agency.Haspel has attracted controversy for her role as chief of a CIA black site in Thailand in 2002 in which prisoners were tortured with so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques", including waterboarding. At that time, the Bush Administration considered the techniques legal based on a set of secret, now-rescinded legal opinions which expansively defined executive authority and narrowly defined torture. Haspel's involvement was confirmed in August 2018 when a Freedom of Information lawsuit by the George Washington University-based National Security Archive brought to light CIA cables either authorized or written by Haspel while base chief at the Thailand black site. The cables describe acts of deliberate physical torture of detainees, including waterboarding and confinement, which Haspel personally observed.
