ProPublica: Gina Haspel didn't oversee base when Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded

President Donald Trump's choice to lead the Central Intelligence Agency "is about to experience a good Borking", referring to the failed nomination of Judge Robert Bork in 1987, according to the National Review.

Well, today ProPublica issued a major correction of its previous report, with the new headline "Correction: Trump's Pick to Head CIA Did Not Oversee Waterboarding of Abu Zubaydah". Neither of these assertions is correct and we retract them.

"Regardless of the origins of the quote from Bonner's story", his office said, "the fact remains that Gina Haspel ran a black site in Thailand, it was used for torture and remains a disqualifying aspect in regards to her nomination".

During a press conference on Wednesday, Paul quoted Haspel commenting on Zubaydah's interrogation.

Engelberg walks through the reporting process on this and makes note of how this report was touted "as evidence that she was not fit to run the agency".

If these symptoms continue for too long or have been too frequent, you need to visit a doctor. Irrfan wrote, " Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect: Margaret Mitchell ".

ProPublica had reported past year that she ran the facility in Thailand during the dark period of American political life when Palestinian-born Abu Zubaydah was tortured, though the outlet corrected itself Thursday night and said that she had not yet arrived during that episode.

Gina Haspel is President Trump's choice to head the spy agency after current director Mike Pompeo was tapped for Secretary of State, but was criticized nearly immediately after the announcement this week for her links to torture. But she was there during three instances of waterboarding of another terrorism suspect, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the newspaper reported.

We at ProPublica hold government officials responsible for their missteps, and we must be equally accountable.

Editor-in-Chief Stephen Engelberg apologized for the error, saying it was "particularly unfortunate because it muddied an important national debate about Haspel and the CIA's recent history".
