Now we know that the CIA committed Spoliation of Evidence by destroying torture "harsh interrogation" tapes. Reference.
CIA Director Michael Hayden's bullshit excuses reason for destroying these tapes:
"... they would permit identification of your CIA colleagues who had served in the program, exposing them and their families to retaliation from al-Qaeda and its sympathizers," Hayden wrote. source.
Of course, as I've recently written, this is laughably bogus. And, seems that Senator Dick Durbin gets that, too.
As reported on Talking Points Memo:
"In a speech (moments ago) on the Senate floor, Durbin dismissed the CIA's explanation that it was trying to protect the identities of the interrogators.
"'We know that it is possible and in fact easy to cover the faces" of those who appear on camera', Durbin said."
The point is not that Dubin and BenGoshi get this, the points are:
1. If Hayden's stated reason is bullshit, then what's was the REAL reason for destroying the tapes; and,
2. When are the subpoena's going to be issued, and enforced, to get Hayden's lying and mendacious ass up to Capitol Hill and allow to tell the truth, or perjure himself, under oath?
BenGoshi
Oh, and one more point:
3. What did Bush and Cheney know, and when did they know it?
