UPDATE: Nobody will be prosecuted for this.
RAW STORY - Monday, March 2, 2009
New documents show the CIA destroyed nearly 100 tapes of terror interrogations.
The acknowledgment of dozens of destroyed tapes came in a letter filed by government lawyers in New York, where the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit seeking more details of terror interrogation programs.
“The CIA can now identify the number of videotapes that were destroyed,” said the letter by Acting U.S. Attorney Lev Dassin wrote, according to AP. “Ninety two videotapes were destroyed.”
The figure is far higher than the handful of recordings the agency has previously admitted destroying, and the revelation comes as a criminal prosecutor is wrapping up his investigation in the matter.
