Un juge des USA la nuit passée a commandé l'administration de Bush expliquer si la CIA a violé un ordre de cour en détruisant des bandes vidéo des interrogations dures de deux suspects de terrorisme.
Henry Kennedy, qui de juge de cour de zone des USA dans 2005 avait commandé le gouvernement pour préserver l'information sur le traitement de prisonnier à la base navale des USA au compartiment de Guantanamo, le Cuba, a programmé une audition de cour sur les bandes pour vendredi, dépassant des objections de gouvernement.
Les avocats pour un groupe de détenus de compartiment de Guantanamo contestant leur détention avaient invité l'audition pour apprendre si le gouvernement avait été conforme à l'ordre de conservation. They cited reports that information obtained from the interrogations implicated five unnamed Guantanamo detainees.
“We hope to establish a procedure to review the government’s handling of evidence in our case … and generally to require an accounting from a government that has admitted that it destroyed evidence,” said David Remes, an attorney for the group of inmates.
He declined to comment on whether he believed any of his clients were implicated during the interrogations.
The CIA on December 6th disclosed that it had destroyed hundreds of hours of interrogation tapes, prompting an outcry from congressional Democrats and human rights activists. The sessions recorded on the tapes were believed to have included a form of simulated drowning known as waterboarding, which has been condemned internationally as torture.
The CIA said it destroyed the tapes lawfully and did so out of concern for the safety of agents involved if the recordings were ever made public. The White House has repeatedly denied the United States tortures terrorism suspects.
The Justice Department declined to comment on the judge’s hearing order but the department last week urged Kennedy not to investigate the videotapes.
