Topic: Jose Rodriguez

A C-SPAN panel featuring former CIA and NSA officials Michael Hayden, Jose Rodriguez, and John Rizzo is discussed. The officials defend their roles in the "enhanced interrogation" program, expressing concern that ongoing investigations and potential indictments create a "chilling effect" on national security operations. The panel is viewed as a public relations effort to preempt a forthcoming Senate Intelligence Committee report.

A San Jose man, Juan Rodriguez, was arrested at a Safeway in Morgan Hill for secretly videotaping women. He is charged with using a concealed camera for "sexual gratification," a phrasing the hosts find unusual and potentially indicative of expanding privacy laws. They question if simply looking at someone could eventually be criminalized under similar logic.
