tough and with thirty years of juicy behind so why all the hate one highly respected nominee for cia director gina her school has come under for because she was too tough on terrorists tough and terrorists meaning she ran a secret cia detention said she there was under reportedly tortured prisoners by the way the videotapes which allegedly documented some of the most horrific tortures were destroyed by the cia committed a crime when she destroyed these tapes that crime at the very least is obstruction of justice the crime also is to classify a crime it's actually illegal in the united states to classify something just because it's embarrassing or because it's a crime that's what she should be answering to why did she destroy the evidence now gina who apparently had no problem torturing tied up suspects is allegedly squeamish about the confirmation hearing all those tough questions in public do you
