In a letter dated May 14 to Warner, Haspel wrote that the interrogation program "is not one the CIA should have undertaken."
"While I won't condemn those that made these hard calls, and I have noted the valuable intelligence collected, the program ultimately did damage to our officers and our standing in the world," she added.
The letter represented a stronger stance on the controversial program than Haspel took during her confirmation hearing last week.
Haspel, an undercover officer for most of her 33-year career with the CIA, promised then that the program would not be restarted under her leadership, but did not go as far as saying it should not have been started.
The 61-year-old Kentucky native became acting CIA director following her predecessor Mike Pompeo's resignation to become U.S. secretary of state and was nominated by Trump to become the permanent director in March.
