CIA DOC REVEALS OKAY TO DESTROY TORTURE EVIDENCE

Daily Kos - A January 8 release of documents in the ACLU FOIA lawsuit seeking materials related to the CIA's destruction of videotapes of interrogators using "enhanced interrogation techniques" has revealed the first evidence of a precise instruction for the destruction of those tapes. . .

The approval came in the form of "a two-page cable discussing a proposal and granting permission to destroy the videotapes." The cable was sent from "HQ" to the "Field" on November 8, 2005, the same day an earlier request was made from the "Field". Confirmation of the destruction of the tapes was already revealed in a cable "from the field to CIA headquarters, confirming the destruction of the videotapes."
