seconds because he knew in all likelihood we would stop at ten. so, this doesn't sound like a person who is afraid of dying. >> if he's is sitting there counting off, he knows you're not going to kill him, he knows he's not going to drown, then why do it? what's the point? >> i think the cumulative effect of waterboarding and sleep deprivation and everything else that was done, essentially, got to him. >> so, what happens? does he break down? does he weep? does he fall apart? >> no. he gets a good night's sleep. he gets his ensure. by the way, he was very heavy when he came to us and he lost 50 pounds. >> what, his ensure, like people in the hospital who drink that stuff? >> yes, dietary manipulation was part of the technique. >> so, sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation. i mean, this is orwellian tuff. the united states doesn't do that. >> well, we do. >> you can see more of lesley stahl's interview with jose rodriguez this sunday on "60 minutes" here on cbs.
