Mark Warner, the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to oppose Haspels confirmation as CIA director. I have evaluated Mr. Abdal Rahim al-Nashiri, as well as close to 20 other men who were tortured in U.S. custody, including several who were tortured as part of the CIAs RDI [Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation] program. I am one of the only health professionals he has ever talked to about his torture, Dr. Sondra Crosby, a professor ... at Boston University, wrote to Warners legislative director. He is irreversibly damaged by torture that was unusually cruel. In my over 20 years of experience treating torture victims from around the world, including Syria, Iraq, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr. al-Nashiri presents as one of the most severely traumatized individuals I have ever seen. Nashiri was ... rendered to Afghanistan by the CIA and eventually taken to the Cats Eye prison in Thailand that was run by Haspel from October to December 2002. On Monday, The Intercept reported that a ... classified memo compiled by the [Senate Intelligence Committee] and aimed at examining Haspels full involvement with torture and destruction of evidence was removed from the Senate. It was supposed to be housed in a secure facility inside Congress, so senators and their staff could read it.
