Gen. Hayden: Rectal rehydration necessary

CNN's Jake Tapper speaks to former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden about the Senate report detailing CIA torture.

How can anyone say people like Hayden, Kappes, Cheney etc aren't complete psychopaths? If this had happened **anywhere** else in the world, their defenders would be howling for blood.

[EHCBunnyreal]

I've been so dehydrated that the doctors have placed IV bags in my legs, and arms, and neck.  None ever said I needed a rectal IV because they're ineffective.  PS, IV needles are normally plastic.

Dear Jake Tapper,
I'll return watching your show when you stop giving war criminals a platform to exonerate themselves.

Good bye,
Former viewer.

Watch all the blinking Hayden is doing.  He's lying nonstop through the whole interview.

[rockymissouri]

Hayden is a creepy thing. He has a disregard for others..and a strange facial tic.

[RobertDigitalArtist]

Uncooperative detainees OF COURSE rather have humus through their anus than an IV in their arm...DUH!

Oh and using 'half-assed' (1:54) in a defense for rectal re-hydration interview is maybe not the best choice of words..

[silvierivera]

This interview is incomplete.  You need to post THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW, FROM START TO FINISH so that the people can see how Hayden 'schooled' Tapper in the last minute-and-a-half.  C'mon, CNN!

[redmercer]

We need to fit Michael Hayden for a hemp necktie

[kcmotl]

We're supposed to just take this demonstrated liar at his word? Only a fool would do so.

[johnbaker]

butt feeding medical? 
Yeah, right. 

[barennis]

Very quick and reactive excuses, comically-rapid blinking, facial tics, ...Is the General being forthright or disingenuous? He is doing a classic impression of someone who is clearly nervous and trying to dig his way out of nonsense claims by lying. This man was the head of the CIA?
 I am not impressed.

[ACyrrock]

Why did the report say they used the LARGEST  hose to stuck up people's asses? That's sexual assault, disgusting as a mutha and nonsensical to defend. 

[TalesFromTheBooth]

if that 1 report is not objective, does that pertain to the rest of the report?
And isn't one instance of rectal rehydration, used as a method of interrogation, 1 too many??

[crystalkellim]

This guy's so poisonous, he looks like hes familiar with the procedure

[fishnbaja]

We haven't used needles in intravenous fluids forever. You are right, your are not a doctor.

[maxx]

It is unique to have a media organization grant to torturers a platform to legitimize and exonerate themselves... All the while refusing to interview the objects of said torture.

Fair and balanced?

[keithgargano]

Two things, why, why this is a lot of shit! The second is---Sooner or later somebodies always gonna git BUGGERED!

[davidknapp]

lol this is still taught in wilderness medicine. I landed here from searching for videos on the subject. they do this to us troops on the regular for heat casualties call it the silver bullet

[SailingAround]

If it was a medical procedure, why wasn't it ordered by a doctor and not a CIA interrogator?

[foxsux]

If he ever gets a heart attack, please ask his doctors to give him rectal rehydration...
