McClatchy News: Did CIA Director Gina Haspel run a black site at Guantánamo?
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba — An attorney for the accused architect of the Sept. 11 attacks told a judge in a secret session last year that CIA Director Gina Haspel ran a secret agency outpost at Guantánamo, an apparent reference to a post-9/11 black site, according to a recently declassified transcript.
The claim by Rita Radostitz, a lawyer for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, appears in one paragraph of a partially redacted transcript of a secret hearing held at Guantánamo on Nov. 16. Defense lawyers were arguing, in a motion that ultimately failed, that Haspel’s role at the prison precludes the possibility of a fair trial for the men accused of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks who were also held for years in covert CIA prisons.
Neither the public nor the accused was allowed to attend the hearing but, following an intelligence review, the Pentagon released portions of its transcript on a war court website.

WNU Editor: This claim by the lawyer for the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks was made after Gina Haspel was CIA Director, and she is not positively certain (at least from what was not redacted) that she was there.

perhaps
Step 1) Torture a bunch of people at black ops side
Step 2) Get in newspapers, in front of congress and deny everything
Step 3) You now have choices: Either write a book about it later, or keep your mouth shot and be promoted.
Good to see that not everyone likes writing books.
