On Monday, Ms. Haspel wrote Mr. Warner, the top Democrat on that committee, and admitted that with the benefit of hindsight that “the enhanced interrogation program is not one the CIA should have undertaken.”

 

On Tuesday, Mr. Warner said he had asked Ms. Haspel to write her views on the agency’s interrogation program because he thought she expressed greater regret in private meetings than she did during last week’s contentious committee confirmation hearing.

 

“I believe she is someone who can and will stand up to the President if ordered to do something illegal or immoral — like a return to torture,” Mr. Warner said, adding that she enjoyed “strong support” from across the intelligence community.
