Quote by: Praxius  CIA destroyed tapes of al-Qaeda interrogations: director
One question..... if they feared that the identities of their CIA torturers were at a risk of identification if made public, then why did they record them in the first place?
Evidence?
Then why did they destroy evidence?
Because they determined they contained nothing of importance?
I doubt those tortured would agree.
And besides.... call it a little bit of education in the field of video editing I have, but last I checked, it's not hard to add a few filters to the audio and blob out faces in the original tapes and then make them public.
Lame excuse for performing an illegal act if you ask me |
As the final outcome, the public has nothing except for Hayden words.
The questions :
- what was that (alleged) footage all about, especially since nobody saw it ?
- was there any footage at all ?
The main issue :
- why Hayden released that info
???
It suggests some laid off(s) and/or resignation(s), while that alleged video-tape would be used as an argument.
Does it mean Hayden has enough, already ? and/or wants to get rid of "competition" (within CIA, itself and/or other administrative departments) ?
Private games ? Why not. It works for some over-ambitious guys, especially.
What U.S. Congreess or Senate has in hands to be investigated ?
Nothing.
