CIA的邁克爾Hayden，被生動描述，一年多前知道恐怖分子審訊錄影帶在爭論的中心，他昨天說。
hayden先生後知道「」被毀壞的錄影帶事實在他的佔有權作為國家情報的主要副主任，崗位他舉行了從2005年4月到2006年5月，他在他的途中說簡報議院情報委員會關於展開調查。 “We are very happy to let the facts take us where they will,” he said at the Capitol.
Mr Hayden made a similar appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, but said he could not answer all the panel’s questions because the tapes were created and destroyed before he arrived at the CIA, under the tenure of his predecessors George Tenet and Porter Goss.
“Other people in the agency know about this far better than I,” he said, and promised the committee he would make those witnesses available.
Mr Hayden told CIA employees last week that the videotapes, made in 2002, showed the CIA’s interrogations of two terrorist suspects. The CIA destroyed the tapes in 2005. The tapes were made to document how CIA officers were using new, harsh questioning techniques recently approved by the White House to force recalcitrant prisoners to talk.
The CIA has not described exactly what was shown on all the tapes. However, among the harsh interrogation techniques the White House approved in 2002 was waterboarding.
Waterboarding involves strapping down a prisoner, covering his mouth and pouring water over his face. The prisoner quickly begins to inhale water, causing the sensation of drowning. The CIA has not used the technique since 2003, according to a government official.
