BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, like the Senate intelligence panel’s Democrats, has come out against President Donald Trump’s nomination of Gina Haspel to lead the CIA. Both former Al-Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the Democrats question whether Haspel, a longtime CIA agent, is fit to run the agency given her involvement in the alleged torture of prisoners following the attacks in 2001. The Al-Qaeda leader, who was captured in March 2003 and was named as “the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks” in the 9/11 Commission. He asked a military judge at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to share an attachment titled “Additional Facts, Law and Argument in Support” with the intelligence committee, the New York Times reported. The attachment contains “six specific paragraphs of information” regarding Haspel and was written by Mohammed himself. One of the paragraphs focused on him being waterboarded, in which he stated in part, “It was brutal, it was terrible. They messed up my hair and they wouldn’t let me comb it back before they took my picture, which in turn severely damaged my self-esteem. Americans should be outraged at this type of unfriendly behavior!”
