Don't Know What to Make of This; Another Big Suprise


Congress knew the tapes of the CIA torturing terrorists would be destroyed. They planed to destroy them a few years ago. They were told not to destroy the tapes by Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif. The CIA was ordered not to destroy the tapes by a federal judge. The CIA did destroy the tapes. Now there is a criminal investigation into the destruction of the tapes.

Its too fucking bad the Valerie Plame/Scooter Libby thing showed us that a criminal investigation will only net a mid level conspirator and if that person is well connected they will only get a slap on the wrist.



It will take a long time to repair the justice system in America and this would be a good start.

It remains to be seen, though, how effective this investigation will be. Fitzgerald had far greater prosecutorial power than this guy will, so don't shoot for the stars on this one. The rule of law is crumbling, and this is further evidence.
