Gina Haspel, the nominee¹ for Central Intelligence Agency Director, pledged Wednesday the agency would not resume torturing.

美国中情局局长候选人吉娜·哈斯佩尔承诺中情局将不会严刑拷问。

"Under my leadership CIA will not restart such a detention² and interrogation program," Haspel said in her opening statement at a Senate hearing, addressing one of the biggest skepticism against her.

Haspel, a career spy who spent 33 years in the CIA working mostly in the shadows, came under intense scrutiny³ regarding her past involvement with a Thai secret prison that was known to carry out "enhanced interrogation" methods, such as waterboarding or sleep deprivation⁴.

Haspel's role in the destruction of the interrogation tapes was also called into question. She allegedly pushed for erasing⁵ evidence of the torturing and was able to persuade her superior in doing so.

Despite the tainted⁶ human rights record, Haspel insisted that she has "a strong sense of right and wrong."

The pledge to improve transparency has won at least one Democrat⁷ member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a crucial gain which may clear the way for her nomination⁸ in the Senate.

"I have found Gina Haspel to be a person of great character," West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, a conservative leaning Democrat, said in a statement.
