Bush Admin wil het geen Onderzoek van de Band van de CIA

De rechter van de het beleidsdrang van Bush niet om over vernietiging van de banden van de CIA te onderzoeken

Het beleid van Bush heeft een federale rechter verteld het werd verplicht om geen videobanden van de ondervragingen van de CIA van veronderstelde terroristen te bewaren en het hof aanspoorde om de banden' niet te onderzoeken vernietiging.

Voor het gerecht ingediende documenten Vrijdag nacht, overheidsadvocaten verteld de V.S. De Rechter Henry H. van het district. Kennedy dat de veeleisende informatie over de banden zich in huidige onderzoeken door Congres en de Afdeling van de Rechtvaardigheid zou mengen.

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.
