C.I.A. Destroyed Tapes of Interrogations

New York Times reports C.I.A. Destroyed Tapes of Interrogations. "The videotapes showed agency operatives in 2002 subjecting terror suspects -- including Abu Zubaydah, the first detainee in C.I.A. custody -- to severe interrogation techniques. They were destroyed in part because officers were concerned that tapes documenting controversial interrogation methods could expose agency officials to greater risk of legal jeopardy"

They tortured people and covered it up because they fear reprisal. Now the investigators have to figure out if they actually lied or merely covered it up. And of course it's not the agents that should be held accountable but Cheney and Bush.
