Trump nominates old CIA hand to run agency

Thie morning's US gov shakeup.  Rex Tillerson is out as Secretary of State.  Mike Pompano from CIA is nominated as new Secretary of State.  Gina Haspel nominated to run CIA.
   The newsies are all atwitter about Gina Haspel, first woman CIA director, ever.  Cool.  But she is an old CIA hand, been working at the agency since the 1980's.  CIA has a poisonous corporate culture.  Specializing in  gross intelligence failures, damaging leaks to the NYT,  attempts to destabilize all Republican administrations, disastrously wrong predictions. 
   Not a promising background.
