Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the al Qaeda leader who masterminded the September 11, 2001, attacks on American soil, has added his voice to the list of leftists who’ve criticized President Donald Trump’s choice for CIA chief, Gina Haspel.
Talk about a left-jihad force alignment. Wouldn’t the fact this guy of all guys opposes make Haspel an even better candidate for America?
Not according to the left, it seems.

Anyhow, Mohammed asked a judge at Guantanamo Bay, where he’s being held in captivity, to pass along some testimony that’s critical of Haspel to the Senate Intelligence Committee. What gall, right?
The Washington Free Beacon has the news:
The mastermind of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks asked permission this week from a military judge to share information about CIA Director nominee Gina Haspel with the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Al Qaeda leader Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was captured in 2003 and waterboarded more than 180 times by the CIA. Haspel ran a black site in Thailand where enhanced interrogation methods were employed, and opponents are seeking to torpedo her nomination due to her connections to the controversial Bush-era program.
The New York Times reports Mohammed asked a judge at Guantanamo Bay, where he is imprisoned, to share six paragraphs of testimony about Haspel with the Senate Intelligence Committee:
Ms. Haspel is scheduled to appear before the panel for a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, and several Democratic senators have called for the Trump administration to declassify more information about her involvement in the program to inform the debate about whether she is the right fit for the post.
Mr. Mohammed’s request to provide unspecified information to the panel adds a new twist to that debate. It was described by one of his lawyers, Marine Lt. Col. Derek A. Poteet, who is helping to defend him from death-penalty charges before the military commissions system at the Guantánamo Bay naval station.
On Monday, Mr. Mohammed submitted a request to the judge overseeing pretrial hearings in that case, Army Col. James Pohl, Colonel Poteet said. While the file is not public on the commissions docket, Colonel Poteet said it consisted of an expedited motion for permission to provide the information to the committee about Ms. Haspel.
The motion, Colonel Poteet said, included an attachment, titled “Additional Facts, Law and Argument in Support,” containing “six specific paragraphs of information” from Mr. Mohammed that his client thinks the Intelligence Committee should know. After Mr. Mohammed raised the idea, his defense lawyers agreed that the information was important, Colonel Poteet said.
The Times reported it was not clear whether Pohl would report on the motion before Haspel’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump nominated Haspel to replace Mike Pompeo, who was recently sworn in as the nation’s 70 secretary of state after a difficult confirmation fight.
Mohammed was the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania.

Al Qaeda Leader Joins Democrats in Attack on Trump’s CIA Nominee
Pamela is engaging in a bit of guilt-by-association here.
But hey, this sounds like a ringing endorsement to me!

Per usual, in their warped / self loathing / self righteous / treasonous mind set, Democ-Rats are in lock step alignment with primitive / ultra violent / anti American / Antisemitic Jihadi savages. After the Anti American decade US citizens had to endure (since BHO came to power), that is not one bit surprising…
The demise of the Democratic party of traitors, can not come soon enough

What bothers me and I am sure of most of the patriots of this great nation is why this man is still alive and has not been put to death by our Government for the murder of so many people on 9/11? This is a disgrace to have this man even alive and breathing and making such remarks!! What is wrong with our Government? What is wrong with our Military? Why are they not doing their duty. They killed Osama Bin Laden but lt this jerk live who was responsible for all of it?

Agree. Dems will sell the country to anyone ready to pay for it .
Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d
And their holdovers still support it.

I hope this moment of the confirmation of Gina Haspel and the resounding victory after victory by peace through strength of Trump and Pompeo will help us finally understand the simplest truth — that water-boarding is not torture.

it is not as bad as what they have done, like beheading, burning people alive, the acid in the face method, but they say water boarding is torture, we should use their own technics on them
