Talk:Jose Rodriguez (intelligence officer)

message: Has anyone been able to find out where Rodriguez was educated, and if so, could they append the entry with such information? I think every good bio-entry has at least a modicum of information on the person's earned degrees and area of study.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.98.15 (talk) 19:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Educational Background

message: In trying to dig up some more biographical data on Rodriguez, I came upon this | jem of an article. It seems like whomever wrote the entry on Rodriguez was taking cues from it. I'll put it in as an external link, but it really shouldn't be used here as a source of information. Alcarillo 17:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Verifiable Sources

message: I would like to remind you all that because the CIA does not publish the name of the D/NCS, we cannot produce verifiable proof that Rodriguez is still in the post. --RaiderAspect 02:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presumed D/NCS 

message: Thought it might be of interest to the editors here; Wikipedia users even created an entry about him last year, although the page contains inaccuracies Tarc 17:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why no [[ signbot ]]? 

message: Several news sources yesterday identified Mr. Rodriguez as the CIA administrator who ordered the destruction of video tapes which recorded CIA employees using "aggressive" interrogation methods in 2002. They were allegedly destroyed in November 2005. Their existence and destruction was acknowledged by Director Michael Hayden. The subjects of the interrogations are allegedly members of al-Qaida, one of who has been identified as Abu Zubaydah. The destruction of these tapes could constitute obstruction of justice, since the CIA was ordered by the 9/11 Commission and a Federal judge in the Moussaoui case to release such media for evidence. []
An entry should be added to the article in the next day or two based on these developments.Happysomeone (talk) 22:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  CIA Torture Tapes scandal 

message: I know at the time the tapes were destroyed, the Attorney General was Alberto Gonzales, who had a big role signing off on EITs/torture, who did not prosecute him by any means at all. At the time he came to testify for destroying the videotapes in early 2008 (that's almost three years before being exonerated), the Attorney General was Michael Mukasey. He was exonerated in November 2010 by Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder. Is this right? If we're going to talk about the Justice Department, we need specifics. J390 (talk) 23:46, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  So he was under prosecution for three years by Attorney Generals Mukasey and Holder? 

message: The two accounts of why Rodriguez destroyed the tapes are not in tension, in fact they are in perfect accord: both say that Rodriquez knew what was shown on those tapes would "nail" the CIA personnel involved.  He intended to protect his people and the agency by destroying them. Protect against what?  Unfair prosecution would say one side. Obstructing justice would say the other. Take your pick. The last two sentences attempt to spin a pov about the persons quoted. As they used to say on Dragnet, "Just the facts, ma'm." ElijahBosley (talk ☞)  16:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy over destruction of interrogation videotapes 

message: The assertion that information derived from waterboarding was useful is hotly disputed. And there is no indication Rodriguez personally administered the waterboarding. If one piece of information derived from waterboarding that happened on his watch (which specific waterboarding--the first or the third or the 182nd?) led to developing further information, that eventually years afterwards, when added to yet more information from other sources, might have helped eventually suggest a place where Bin Laden might be found--that does not give Rodriguez reason to claim credit. If indeed "credit" is what is to be claimed for what a large number of people consider a war crime, primarily of service to our enemies in boosting suicide bomber recruitment, and a permanent stain on our flag; an enduring disgrace to our country.  One might better credit the nameless factory worker at some Colt armory who crimped the copper jacket around the bullet that killed Osama Bin Laden. One should actually credit President Obama and Seal Team 6. But Rodriquez?  Whoever is adding the stilted opinion that Rodriguez found Bin Laden needs to go re-read what an encyclopedia is for.
