米国の裁判官は昨晩ブッシュ政権をCIAが2人のテロリズムの容疑者ことをの粗い質問のビデオテープの破壊によって判決に違反したかどうか説明するように命令した。

グアンタナモ湾で米国の海軍基盤で囚人の酷使の情報を維持するために2005で政府を発注した米国の地方裁判所の裁判官ヘンリーケネディの金曜日の間キューバ、政府の異議を打ち消すテープの法廷審問を予定した。

彼らの延滞を争っているグアンタナモ湾の収容者のグループのための弁護士は政府が保存の順序に従ったかどうか学ぶようにヒアリングを要求した。 彼らは質問から得られた情報がグアンタナモの5人の無名抑留者を関係させたレポートを引用した。

“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.
