There's a real SOB on "60 Minutes" tonight.

"Hard Measures - The former head of the CIA's Clandestine Service, Jose Rodriguez, talks to Lesley Stahl about the "enhanced interrogation techniques," including waterboarding, used on high-level al Qaeda detainees. The ex-spy was the man behind those techniques that some would consider torture and he defends their use for the first time. Richard Bonin is the producer."

IMO, this guy deserves to be in solitary for the rest of his miserable life.

SOB is practically a term of endearment compared to the expletives I could summon when thinking about this criminal.

No one has come to decry the implied use of the b-word.

Waterboarding was one of the crimes.

I am immersed in studying the war in the Pacific. Who would ever have thought Americans would use those techniques (and apparently approve them) in just a few decades.
