CIA Deliberately Destroyed Interrogation Tapes
Just as we all suspected, it was a deliberate obstruction of justice. Of course, they’re covered by the Obama decree that crimes committed in the past will not be prosecuted, except for the whistleblower who embarrassed NSA. That person will feel the full weight of the law. But torture, illegal imprisonment, murder, destroying evidence—that’s all okay with Obama and Holder. No problem.
The ACLU released documents last week gained through a FOIA request the other that show clearly that the CIA deliberately destroyed interrogation tapes because they knew what the tapes showed was illegal and would cause great damage to the agency if released. The memos released show CIA officials discussing that fact and talking about how the tapes should be destroyed.
Marcy Wheeler, as always, has an incredibly thorough look at the documents released and has been analyzing them.
