CIA Whistleblower: Biden Intel Pick Avril Haines Approved Obama Drone Strike Kill List, Hid Torture

Avril Haines, Biden's nominee for director of national intelligence, began her confirmation hearing Tuesday. She was President Obama's top lawyer on the National Security Council from 2010 to 2013 and CIA deputy director from 2013 to 2015, where she authorized using drone strikes to carry out targeted extrajudicial assassinations. We know that in almost all cases that she said it was legal to put these names on the kill list, and people were subsequently killed by drone, including American citizens," says CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, who exposed the Bush-era torture program and was the only official jailed in connection to it. He also discusses Haines's handling of CIA agents who illegally hacked the computers of the Senate Intelligence Committee to thwart its investigation into the CIA's detention and interrogation program that used torture methods like waterboarding.
