没有免疫，没有证词为CIA官员

由 斯科特Shane    华盛顿- Jose A。 在星期三罗德里格斯Jr.，在问题上定购审讯破坏录影，不会要求出现于一个闭合的国会听证会2005年的前中央情报局官员，但也许告诉以后作证，在询问简报的官员认为星期一。

    先生。 罗德里格斯， 2005年带领代办处的秘密服务和最近退休，要求了免疫，在他将同意作证在议院情报委员会面前之前。 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.
