More of That "Change We Can Believe In"

The Washington Post reports today that the Obama administration is now urging a federal court to keep concealed all evidence relating to the CIA's (almost certainly illegal) destruction of interrogation videotapes -- including documents showing who ordered the tapes destroyed, what the tapes revealed, the reasons why those decisions were made, etc. The administration's rationale for that concealment is exactly the same as for concealment of the torture photos: namely, the administration is "arguing to a federal judge that [disclosure] would endanger national security and benefit al-Qaeda's recruitment efforts."

Jesus, they use that argument for everything. I bet they have it on a rubber stamp. Okay, the Bush Administration had it on a rubber stamp. Obama’s people have it recorded as a macro.


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