    Assuming that the press is correct in what is being said with regards to this lady's way of proceeding with prisoners, of whichever origin they may be, believe that she should be the last choice of persons to head the CIA. Having said that of course what can u expect from the current POTUS, and his choice Cabinet members and others in high office who all they have to do is bow down, scrape and agree to all he says - however far out or crazy his ideas may be?. That seems to be the only way to be amongst the “chosen few” and not to lose your position in he pecking order.
