BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/13/18 11:16 AM EDT
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blasted the Trump administration on Tuesday for the selection of Gina Haspel to lead the CIA over Haspel's former management of black-site prisons.
In a series of tweets, the whistleblower, who fled the country after exposing classified information in 2013 about U.S. surveillance programs, attacked Haspel for her role in the 2002 torture of detainees at a CIA secret prison in Thailand.

So anything Trump does, like making bad appointments, is partly on Snowden's head, which should come off, I would say.
Grrrrr.
