The photo of a soldier and one of Gina Haspel below - are they really one and the same person?
We received requests for a status post with content that wasn't quite as easy to digest.
A photo of a female soldier is shown grinning, giving a thumbs up, posing next to a dead man, including the photo of Gina Haspel, a US intelligence officer, along with the claim that these women are one and the same person:
Image in plain text:
The female charge of prison secrets and torture in Iraq in 2003 was named as director of the CIA in 2018
The woman responsible for the secret prisons and torture of Iraqis in 2003 will be named CIA director in 2018.
*Editor’s translation
Let's roll up:
The woman responsible for the secret prisons and torture of Iraqis in 2003...
The woman in the picture above is Sabrina Harman . The New Yorker website in March 2008 (warning: explicit content) as part of an investigative report by authors Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris . Sabrina Harman was an employee at Abu Ghraib prison in 2003. She photographed and documented the conditions in the prison and became known in the wake of the 2003-2004 Abu Ghraib torture scandal and was imprisoned in California. [ 1 ]
Errol Morris produced the 2008 documentary Standard Operating Procedure , which is about solving the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. He interviewed former soldiers, including Sabrina Harman, who worked at the prison.

... will be appointed CIA director in 2018.
Gina Haspel was nominated by US President Donald Trump on March 13, 2018 as his successor to the position of director of the CIA. This statement is true. Senator Rand Paul spoke out against Haspel's nomination shortly afterwards. She ran the “ Black Site ” prison in Thailand in 2002 and is said to have used interrogation methods that were no longer permitted. [ 2 ][ 3 ]
Result:
This status post is incorrect. Only one of the two women shown is Gina Haspel. The other picture shows Sabrina Harman.
