老牌間諜哈斯佩爾宣誓就任中情局長大綱

Gina Haspel, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, was sworn in Monday's as the spy agency's first female director.

President Donald Trump watched as Vice President Mike Pence swore in the 61-year-old Haspel during a ceremony at the CIA headquarters, outside Washington."Gina is tough, she is strong and when it comes to defending America, Gina will never back down," Trump said. "The men and women of this agency deserve exceptional leadership and that is what they are getting."

Trump called her "a very special one who has served this country with extraordinary skill and devotion." He said "there is no one in this country better qualified for this extraordinary office than you."

She is replacing Mike Pompeo, who recently became U.S. secretary of state and stood nearby as Haspel, his deputy at the CIA, took the oath of office.

Haspel described her life at CIA and that of other U.S. intelligence workers as "more than a career," but rather "a calling" to protect the country against terrorist attacks.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Haspel last Thursday by a vote of 54-45, ending a tumultuous nomination process in which lawmakers revisited the CIA's past interrogation practices.爲美國中央情報局服務超過30年的吉娜·哈斯佩爾星期一宣誓成爲這個美國情報機構的第一位女局長。

川普總統出席了在華盛頓郊外的中情局總部舉行的就職儀式，他讚揚哈斯佩爾“很堅強，在捍衛美國的問題上……永遠不會退縮.”川普說，“這個機構的男女工作人員應該有卓越的領導人，而這正是他們得到的。”

川普稱哈斯佩爾是“一個非常特別的人......一個以非凡的技能和服務奉獻美國的人”。他對哈斯佩爾說：“這個國家沒有人比你更適合擔任這個非凡的職位。”

哈斯佩爾接替最近成爲美國國務卿的麥克·蓬佩奧。她形容在中情局和其他美國情報機構的工作“不僅僅是職業”，而是“保護美國免受恐怖襲擊”的事業。

儘管川普總統對哈斯佩爾的提名引發不同意見，但美國參議院上週四批准了對她的任命。
