If
you conservatives out there in AT country are anything like me, you
spend a good deal of time scratching your heads in perplexity when
leftists speak. "How can they possibly believe that?"
Give the top of your head a break and don't let your fingernails draw any blood when you watch Leslie Stahl's 60 Minutes interview -- set to air in full tonight, April 29 -- of former CIA Clandestine Services head Jose Rodriguez. Rodriguez was in charge of, among other things, the interrogation of 911 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) using "enhanced interrogation" techniques, which of course we all know is a euphemism for waterboarding.
In a nation that says it's OK to deploy armed drones that inevitably kill and maim non-combatant bystanders right along with enemy terrorists, we find Ms. Stahl deeply concerned about Ensure being fed to interrogation subjects:
Stahl: So what happens [when KSM is waterboarded], does he break down? Does he weep? Does he fall apart?
Rodriguez: No, he gets a good night's sleep. He gets his Ensure, by the way he was very heavy and when he came to us he lost 50 pounds.
Stahl: What, his Ensure? You mean like people in the hospital who will eat that stuff?
Rodriguez: Yes. Dietary manipulation is was part of these dark techniques.
Stahl: So sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation. I mean, this is Orwellian stuff. The United States doesn't do that.
Rodriguez: Well we do.
