CIA denies obstructing 9/11 Commission.

[marky 54]

WASHINGTON - The CIA on Saturday rebutted suggestions the spy agency was uncooperative and hid from the Sept. 11 commission the videotaped interrogations of two suspected terrorists, saying it waited until the panel went out of business before destroying the material now in question.

The destruction in late 2005 of the videotapes of two al-Qaida suspects has upset a federal judge and riled the Democratic-controlled Congress, which has promised an investigation. The Justice Department also is trying to find out what happened and if any laws were broken.

A recent memo by Philip Zelikow, the former executive director of the Sept. 11 commission, suggests the CIA was less than forthcoming when asked for documents and other information from the panel, which investigated the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Another case of 'implausible deniability'? Especially with that Bush sycophant Zelikow acting all innocent.

How much longer will it be before humanity at large pulls the wool away from their eyes and sees the CIA for what it really is? A most sinister evolution of the Gestapo - no more, no less.

I had the misfortune to finally watch the updated 'terrorist' version of Casino Royale last night - a pastiche of psychopathy from beginning to end - these are the worlds true criminals - the Bond and Le Chiffre types. Greed, excess and violence. Thank you 'M' aka Rimmington &Scarlett.

Now please leave the world's stage... To quote Francis Boyle of the US National Lawyers Guild - 'the terrorists are in the White House'...

WASHINGTON - The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee warned in a 2003 letter that destroying videotapes of terrorist interrogations would put the CIA under a cloud of suspicion, according to a newly declassified copy of the letter.

"Even if the videotape does not constitute an official record that must be preserved under the law, the videotape would be the best proof that the written record is accurate, if such record is called into question in the future," Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., wrote in a Feb. 10, 2003 letter to then-CIA general counsel Scott Muller. "The fact of destruction would reflect badly on the agency."

Harman's office released the declassified letter on Thursday, a day after the Justice Department announced it had opened a criminal investigation into the destruction of the tapes. The letter notes that a copy also went to then-CIA Director George Tenet.
