1/ On the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001, here are some of the best resources to learn more about the events leading up to the attacks, as well as the many U.S. policy failures that followed. May we prevent both in the future. ⬇️ 2/ Books: The Looming Tower - Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (2006)

It's disheartening that long debunked propaganda related to the CIA's detention & torture program persists -- even in articles critical of the program. abc.net.au/news/2021-09-0… The article states Zubaydah was subjected to the waterboard "in a handful of sessions." The Senate Torture Report debunked this claim after an examination of CIA records. Image

1/ Fact Check: Contrary to reporting, Michael Morell did NOT “write in his 2015 book that he believed waterboarding is indeed torture.” As this thread shows, Morell has never called the CIA’s techniques “torture” & has consistently defended the CIA torture program. @JennaMC_Laugh 2/ As I detailed in another thread, Morell’s defense of torture and his continued propagation of inaccurate facts about the CIA torture program are well documented.

1/ This thread is intended to highlight some of the reasons the Senate might oppose the nomination of Michael Morell to be CIA Director. For background, see reporting on the possible nomination by @attackerman, @ZcohenCNN, @mattshuham, @NatashaBertrand, & others. Image 2/ While it’s unclear if Morell will be nominated, Morell’s defense of torture, continued propagation of inaccurate facts about the CIA torture program, dismissal of oversight, & failure to hold CIA officers accountable; appear incompatible w/President-Elect @JoeBiden Image

1. Today, in @just_security, I urged the Biden Administration to reject personnel complicit in torture, as well as those who frustrated accountability for the torture program. Hours later, Biden announced Avril Haines as his choice for Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Image 2.
