ACLU: The CIA must declassify and release every aspect of Haspel's torture record...

6. I started digging around after I asked the question.

This article is pretty informative on her role:

Haspel’s identity and role in the CIA’s torture program was previously concealed by its classification regime. However, when Haspel was designated deputy director of the agency in February 2017, her role in the program became more clear.

Specifically, Haspel was in charge of the CIA’s “Cat’s Eye,” a secret prison located in Thailand. Haspel allegedly oversaw the daily torture of detained individuals at Cat’s Eye. According to media accounts and the memoirs of former CIA personnel, Haspel was personally involved in the torture of one Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn, also known as Abu Zubaydah.

It's interesting that prosecutors in Munich are reviewing a request for an arrest warrant for her. That might put a damper on any enthusiasm to approve her appointment, or it might make them more gung-ho depending on how they feel about torture.
