Καμία ασυλία, καμία κατάθεση για τον ανώτερο υπάλληλο CIA
Από Scott Shane Ουάσιγκτον - Jose A. Η νεώτερος Rodriguez, ο προηγούμενος κεντρικός ανώτερος υπάλληλος αντιπροσωπείας νοημοσύνης που διέταξε την καταστροφή των μαγνητοταινιών ερώτησης το 2005, δεν θα απαιτηθεί για να εμφανιστεί την Τετάρτη σε μια κλειστή του Κογκρέσου ακρόαση στο θέμα αλλά μπορεί να κληθεί για να πιστοποιήσει αργότερα, ένας ανώτερος υπάλληλος που ενημερώνεται την εν λόγω έρευνα Δευτέρα.
Ο κ. Rodriguez, που οδήγησε τη μυστική υπηρεσία της αντιπροσωπείας το 2005 και πρόσφατα αποσυρμένος, έχει απαιτήσει την ασυλία προτού να συμφωνήσει να πιστοποιήσει ενώπιον της Επιτροπής νοημοσύνης Βουλών. The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into the destruction of the videotapes, which recorded harsh interrogations of two suspected Qaeda figures.
The committee has made no decision on a possible grant of immunity, so it postponed Mr. Rodriguez’s appearance. He remains under subpoena, however, and the committee may call him later.
The only C.I.A. witness currently scheduled to appear Wednesday at the closed hearing is John A. Rizzo, the agency’s acting general counsel, who held that job when the tapes were destroyed.
Committee members want to ask Mr. Rizzo what guidance lawyers inside and outside the agency gave on the possible destruction of the tapes. They also want to question him about why the House and Senate Intelligence Committees were not officially informed of the destruction when it happened, and whether agency officials deliberately concealed the existence of the tapes from the Sept. 11 Commission, as the commission’s leaders have said.
Mr. Rodriguez has told colleagues he consulted two agency lawyers, who told him that he had the authority to destroy the tapes and that it would not be illegal.
