CIA covering up more of its crimes
This should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone:
Former members and staffers of the 9/11 Commission have concluded that the CIA withheld videotapes of harsh interrogation sessions even after specific and "very detailed" requests about the two prisoners whose tapes were later destroyed, according to a review of classified material by the panel.
A seven-page report for former commission members by the panel's former executive director, Philip Zelikow, found that the group made broad initial requests for intelligence information from interrogations, "including repeated requests for very detailed information" about the interrogations and how they were carried out.
[...]
The Dec. 13 memo essentially confirms earlier complaints that by withholding and then destroying the tapes, the CIA had not complied with the panel's requests for a broad array of documents and other material about CIA detainees.
More to the point, this shows that CIA personnel have destroyed evidence of their agency's participation in war crimes. They didn't just fail to comply with requests from the 9/11 Commission -- they have engaged in a cover-up of their own criminal behavior.
It's time for Congress to empanel another Church Committee. Heads should roll over this.
