A couple of things:

1. I get the feeling that a lot of people commenting on this are a lot more circumspect or "respectful" in what they're saying -- because now in the back of everyone's mind is the troubling awareness that our government has new power (and therefore willingness) to whisk "enemies" away in the dead of night and torture them. Even if the government doesn't do it to domestic citizens, the fact that the government does it at all is having an intimidating, suppressive effect on the discourse.

2. Check out some of the comments on this Reddit thread. There's a lot of speculation about the possibility the interview was manipulated in several subtle ways.
