백악관은 CIA cover-up에 침묵을 지킨다

백악관은 인용하는 공포정치 용의자의 CIA의 파괴 심문 테이프 응답하지 않을 것입니다 월요일을 어떤이 cover-up이라고 칭한 무슨을로에 관한 질문에 진행하는 수사를 밝혔다.

사법부 및 중앙 정보부가 서서히 끓는 논쟁으로 보는 동안 대통령 공식적인 변호사가 정책 논평한ㄴ다고 요구했었다고 조지 W 부시 대변인 Dana Perino는 말했다.

"밖으로 저것 프로세스 워크 자체까지, 나는 그들의 요구에 고착하기 위하여 려고 하고 있다," 그녀는 취재원을 말했다. "나는 저것이 적합하다고 생각한다, 나는 그것에 고착할 것이다."

When a reporter noted that the White House has similarly stonewalled questions about other potentially embarrassing issues, and suggested that such a policy was politically expedient, Perino bristled.

“I can see why that cynicism that usually drifts from this room could come up in this regard. What I can tell you is that I try my best to get you as much information as I can, and in this regard I’ve been asked by our Counsel’s office not to comment, and I’m not going to,” she said.

But she repeated that Bush had no recollection of being told about the tapes or about their destruction in 2005 until briefed last week following media reports.

Some of Bush’s Democratic critics and human rights groups have denounced the decision as an attempt to cover up interrogation practices widely seen as torture — despite Washington’s insistence that it does not torture.

The videotapes, made in 2002, reportedly showed harsh interrogations of Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who were among the first suspects interrogated by the CIA after the Sept 11, 2001 attacks.

CIA director Michael Hayden, who was not leading the agency when the tapes were destroyed, has said that doing so was necessary to avoid having the recordings leak to the public, revealing the identity of CIA questioners.
