I never understood that one.""

I watched the whole interview and have read other transcripts of interviews with him....

When you listen to him, he's a rational scary kind of guy - the sort of person who is able to walk down the dots from "good guy" to "its okay to commit genocide because we had a process in place".

What we saw in the Bush.... well, Cheney power structure was echoes of how a country can move from trying to do good to psychotic evil.

Where Jose completely misses the boat is that he *may* have saved a few Americans at some point (that simply isn't validated) but he and his cohorts CLEARLY has put us all in much much more danger if any of us are captured.
