CIA Finds Itself Innocent

[The CIA] destroyed interrogation videotapes in November 2005, months after a federal judge issued an order for the government to preserve all evidence relevant to the trial of Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, a Yemeni challenging his detention at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

But in a court filing on Wednesday, Robert L. Deitz, a top agency official, said that a search of several thousand pages of documents had found no evidence indicating “intentional, accidental, or negligent destruction of records” falling under that order.

And I was just sure they’d find themselves guilty.

The court filings do not explain how the C.I.A. reached its conclusion, or by what standard it judged whether documents were covered by the order.

Hmmm. I suppose we’ll just have to guess.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
