Bush Admin ne veut pas l'enquête de bande de CIA

Juge de recommander d'administration de Bush à ne pas s'enquérir au sujet de la destruction des bandes de CIA

L'administration de Bush a indiqué un juge fédéral qu'elle n'a pas été obligée de préserver des bandes vidéo des interrogations de CIA des terroristes suspectés et n'a pas invité la cour à ne pas regarder destruction dans bandes'.

Documente devant le tribunal vendredi nuit classée, avocats de gouvernement dits les États-Unis Henry H. de juge de zone. Kennedy que les informations exigeantes sur les bandes interféreraient des investigations courantes par Congress et le département de justice.

It is the first time the government has addressed the issue of the videotapes in court.

Kennedy ordered the Bush administration in June 2005 to safeguard “all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.”

Five months later, the CIA destroyed the interrogation videos.

Government lawyers told Kennedy the tapes were not covered by his court order because Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri — the suspected terrorists whose interrogations were videotaped and then destroyed — were not at the Guantanamo military prison in Cuba.

The men were being held overseas in a network of secret CIA prisons. By the time President Bush acknowledged the existence of those prisons and the prisoners were transferred to Guantanamo, the tapes had been destroyed.

Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Friday refused to give Congress details of the government’s investigation into the matter, saying that doing so could raise questions about whether the inquiry was vulnerable to political pressure.
