Big win for Women as Trump names first female CIA Director
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
I have yet to see a women politician's performance stand head and shoulders above some of the better men politicians.
Maggy Thatcher comes to mind but she is dead now so she doesn't count.
So far all other women politians have been mediocre at best.

Gina Haspel, C.I.A. Deputy Director, Had Leading Role in Torture
The C.I.A.’s first overseas detention site was in Thailand. It was run by Ms. Haspel, who oversaw the brutal interrogations of two detainees, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.
Mr. Zubaydah alone was waterboarded 83 times in a single month, had his head repeatedly slammed into walls and endured other harsh methods before interrogators decided he had no useful information to provide.
The sessions were videotaped and the recordings stored in a safe at the C.I.A. station in Thailand until 2005, when they were ordered destroyed. By then, Ms. Haspel was serving at C.I.A. headquarters, and it was her name that was on the cable carrying the destruction orders.
