CIA lehnt ab, Folterung-Klebeband-Dokumente umzudrehen
Donnerstag, den 14. Mai 2009
Der CIA behauptet die Vollständigkeit der kriminellen Untersuchung eines speziellen Verfolgers in die Zerstörung von 92 Befragungvideobändern wird verglichen, wenn die Agentur gezwungen wird, ausführliche Dokumente zum amerikanischen Zivilfreiheit-Anschluß (ACLU) umzudrehen den Inhalt der Klebebänder beschreibend, entsprechend eben freigegebenen Gerichtdokumenten. In einem 5. Mai Buchstaben zum US Amtsgericht-Richter Alvin Hellerstein, Lev Dassin, der verantwortliche US Rechtsanwalt für den südlichen Bezirk von New York, sagte, daß die Gerechtigkeit-Abteilung vor kurzem Diskussionen mit den Verfolgern hatte, die auf der kriminellen Untersuchung in die Zerstörung der Befragungklebebänder arbeiten und informiert war, daß „die Produktion der Dokumente… widersprechen würde und im wesentlichen die [Verbrecher] Untersuchung“ in die Zerstörung der Befragungklebebänder behinderen. „Da das Gericht bewußt ist, der Bereich der Klebebanduntersuchung einschließt den Bericht von versperrte, ob irgendeine Person Gerechtigkeit, bewußt gebildet materiell falsche Aussagen, oder fungiert in der Missachtung des Gerichts oder Kongreß in Zusammenhang mit der Zerstörung der Videobänder,“ sagt Buchstabe Dassins. „Die Regierung folglich verlangt respektvoll, daß [ein vorhergehender Gerichtsbefehl, der den CIA verlangt, drehen ausführliche Beschreibungen des Inhalts der zerstörten Klebebänder] um, zurückgezogen oder anders geblieben seien Sie, bis die Klebebanduntersuchung ist durchgeführt worden.“ Amrit Singh, ein ACLU Personalrechtsanwalt, sagte, daß die Bewegung ist „ein klassischer CIA verzögert Taktik.“ Bei Gericht Papiere, sagte sie, daß die Regierung die kriminelle Untersuchung „als Vorwand für seine Verpflichtung unbestimmt hinausschieben“, die Dokumente zu produzieren verwendet, die auf der Zerstörung der Videobänder bezogen werden. „Die Regierung bildet keine Erwähnung von einem erwarteten timeline für Beendigung [spezieller Verfolger John] Durham ['s] der Untersuchung,“ die ACLU besagten bei Gericht Papiere. „Noch hat Herrn. Durham stellte eine Erklärung zur Unterstützung der Position der Regierung.“ zur Verfügung Hellerstein schien zuzustimmen. Er unterstrich in einem Zweiseite Auftrag, daß Durham nicht vorwärts getreten war, um anzugeben, daß seine Prüfspitze gehindert würde, wenn die Dokumente, die auf der Zerstörung der Klebebänder bezogen wurden, zum ACLU umgedreht wurden. Tatsächlich in einer März Gerichtarchivierung, merkte Dassin, daß ein Aufenthalt der Verachtungbewegung durch die ACLU suchende Freisetzung von den Klebebändern wurde gewährt, um am 28. Februar ohne einen Antrag für eine Fortsetzung abzulaufen einordnete - signalisierend, daß Untersuchung Durhams komplett war. Im Januar hatte Durham in einer Gerichtarchivierung angezeigt, daß er erwartete, seine Prüfspitze Ende Februars oben aufzuwickeln. Last month, however, Durham questioned the CIA’s former number three official, Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, about the destruction of the tapes. Foggo, who was sentenced to three years in prison for fraud for steering lucrative contracts to a friend, was due to report to federal prison, but Durham asked for a delay so he could question him about the tape destruction. In December 2007, the ACLU filed a motion to hold the CIA in contempt for its destruction of the tapes in violation of a court order requiring the agency to produce or identify all records requested by the ACLU related to the CIA’s interrogation of “war on terror” detainees. Hellerstein ordered the Justice Department, on behalf of the CIA, to file legal briefs by May 27 justifying the reasons for withholding the documents. He added that those papers should include affidavits, including a declaration from the special prosecutor investigating the tape destruction Those documents “may include also any reasons why the identity of persons involved in the destruction should not be disclosed,” Hellerstein wrote in a two-page order. Several weeks ago, Dassin revealed in another court filing that the CIA has about 3,000 documents related to the 92 destroyed videotapes, suggesting an extensive back-and-forth between CIA field operatives and officials of the Bush administration. The Justice Department said the documents include “cables, memoranda, notes and e-mails” related to the destroyed CIA videotapes. In last week’s court filing, Dassin said, “those 3,000 records included ‘contemporaneous records,’ which were created at the time of the interrogation or at the time the videotapes were viewed, ‘intelligence record,’ which do not describe the interrogations but contain raw intelligence collected from the interrogations, ‘derivative records,’ which summarize information contained within the contemporaneous records, and documents related to the location of the interrogations, that upon further review by the CIA, were determined not to relate to the interrogations or to the destroyed videotapes.” The ACLU and the government have jointly proposed that the government describe the contents of the “contemporaneous” and “derivative” records, but not the intelligence records or the “other records that ultimately proved to be unrelated to the interrogations or the videotapes.” Dassin said the Justice Department intends to turn over additional indexes next month, and on May 18 will produce a list of “all contemporaneous records and all derivative records” related to the destruction of the interrogation tapes, but he added that quite a bit of information will be withheld. In previous court filings, Dassin acknowledged that 12 videotapes, showed Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged mastermind of the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, being subjected to waterboarding and other harsh methods. The 80 other videotapes purportedly show Zubaydah and al-Nashiri in their prison cells. Some of the videotapes predated the Justice Department’s August 1, 2002, legal memo authorizing CIA interrogators to use ten torturous methods against “high-value” detainees. But it’s unknown whether the interrogation tapes that predate the August 1, 2002, “torture” depict “enhanced interrogation” techniques not yet approved by the Justice Department. Last week, the CIA turned over to the ACLU documents that showed CIA interrogators at a secret “black site” prison provided top agency officials in Langley with daily “torture” updates of Abu Zubaydah, the alleged “high-level” terrorist detainee, who was waterboarded 83 times in August 2002. The documents included two sets of indexes (Part I) (Part II), totaling 52 pages that contained general descriptions of cables sent back to CIA headquarters describing the August 2002, videotaped interrogation sessions of Zubaydah. Those cable transmissions included a description of the techniques interrogators had used and the intelligence, if any, culled from those sessions. The CIA and the Justice Department declined to turn over a more detailed description of the cables its field agents sent back to headquarters, citing several exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act. In a two-page letter accompanying the indexes, CIA Associate General Counsel John McPherson wrote that a “senior government official” would submit a declaration on May 22 “that more fully explains the justifications for withholding a more detailed description of the cables.”
