That's the title of a new post at The New Yorker by torture expert Jane Mayer.
You should read it. It's only a few paragraphs.
At the request of the CIA, she withholds the name of the Queen of Torture. (As does NBC News.)
I am against war crimes. I consider statist torture a war crime.
I am also uncomfortable with catchy nicknames. The person in question is a high-ranking CIA officer. Mayer tells us she holds the rank of general in the military. Her name and her failures have been known for some time. Her name is, almost certainly, Alfreda Frances Bikowsky.
