미국 재판관은 지난 밤에 부시 행정부를 CIA가 2명의 공포정치 용의자의 가혹한 심문의 비디오테이프를 파괴해서 법원 명령을 위반했다는 것을 설명하도록 주문했다.

Guantanamo 만에 미국 건함 기초에 포로 혹사에 정보를 보존하기 위하여 2005에서 정부를 주문했었던 미국 지방 법원 재판관 헨리 케네디 의 금요일 동안, 쿠바, 정부 반대를 무시하는 테이프에 청문회를 계획했다.

그들의 제지를 겨뤄 Guantanamo 만 입원자의 그룹을 위한 변호사는 정부가 보전 순서에 따랐었다는 것을 배울 것을 청각이 요구했었다. 그들은 정보가 심문에서 내포한 Guantanamo 5명의 무명 피억류자를 얻은 보고를 인용했다.

“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.
