Although Michael Hayden did not make this statement about the current Senate Democrats and the confirmation of Gina Haspel, it is applicable today. "It feels like September 11th never took place, that Americans are living in the bubble of September 10th, 2001. Americans need to wake up and not forgot the real dangers under which we are living."

Elise Cooper . . . Democratic senators on the Intelligence Committee – Heinrich, Feinstein, Warner, Harris, and King – ignored the legality of the Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation programs by calling them immoral. They had the attitude of Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who asked over five times if Haspel "believed the previous interrogation techniques were immoral" and Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.), who stated, "It is not enough that you have committed to the rule of law?" and called it "a get out of jail free card."
" . . .This program led to the disruption of terrorist plots that saved American lives. It contributed to helping us learn more about al-Qaeda, including the best way to attack, thwart, and degrade it."
"The Democrats seem to be playing right into KSM's hands, since they frame what the CIA did as morally wrong. Maybe someone should point out to them that KSM considers responses like theirs "one of Allah's gifts." "The long war for Islamic domination wasn't going to be won in the streets with bombs and bullets and bloodshed, but would be won in the minds of the American people."
"Haspel was pressed by the Democrats to throw her fellow CIA peers under the bus. Speaking of moral courage, it is so obvious she has it all over the Democrats. She stuck to her beliefs, refused to play their political game, and should be admired for doing this. Her response: "It was the CIA who identified and captured the mastermind of 9-11 [KSM] in a brilliant operation. I am proud of our work during that time, which allowed us to defend this country and prevent another attack.' " . . .
