由 斯科特Shane    華盛頓- Jose A。 在星期三羅德里格斯Jr.，在問題上定購審訊破壞錄影，不會要求出現於一個閉合的國會聽證會2005年的前中央情報局官員，但也許告訴以後作證，在詢問簡報的官員認為星期一。

    先生。 羅德里格斯， 2005年帶領代辦處的秘密服務和最近退休，要求了免疫，在他將同意作證在議院情報委員會面前之前。 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.
