    More like torture tapes. God this stuff makes me sick to the core. Yet most of the "highly reader reccomended" comments on the Have your say discussion of the topic seem to condone and defend these actions.

    Will there ever be justice for these crimes?

    How on earth were they expecting the tapes to leak?

    Why would those tapes be any more or less secure than the rest of their data?

    Very sinister and scary indeed !

    WTF is going on with America ? They have probably the biggest Holocaust Memmorial Museum in the world in Washington DC, and they're running a Concentration Camp in Guantanamo Bay.

    Ok, Guantanamo's in Cuba, but is that not just a conveinent way they can get around their own Constitution ??

    disgraceful:mad:

    The US justice department and the CIA are launching a joint inquiry into the CIA's destruction of two videotapes of interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects.

    CIA chief General Mike Hayden said the agency would co-operate fully with the preliminary inquiry, to decide whether a full investigation is necessary.

    We have to seperate the American public, who are nice and kind etc. from the CIA, Republcans etc who are selfish and sick. The problem is when you talk about America you have to include both. The sooner the American public wake up and remove the cancer then they will be associated with them.

    which unfortunately means very little after the evidence has been destroyed.

    At most a slap on the wrist, maybe one of them will lose their job and be scapegoated.

    If those videos did have evidence of torture, or if those videos showed that the "enhanced interrogations" yielded nothing, then the implications would be far reaching on an incomparable scale. This stuff now is just a sweeping under the carpet in an obvious attempt to pay cheap lip service to justice and due process.

    Better than nothing I guess.
