What I Didn't Know About the CIA Tapes

Before I read the blogs.

NOW I KNOW BETTER!

C.I.A. Destroyed 2 Tapes Showing Interrogations

"The videotapes showed agency operatives in 2002 subjecting terrorism suspects — including Abu Zubaydah, the first detainee in C.I.A. custody — to severe interrogation techniques. The tapes were destroyed in part because officers were concerned that video showing harsh interrogation methods could expose agency officials to legal risks, several officials said."

"Which essentially admits that the CIA was engaged in illegal methods, i.e. torture, of these individuals.

As detailed below, these particular tapes are the ones it is claimed proof that Al Qaeda was behind 9-11. These tapes are now gone, so we only have the government's worthless word what they contained. But more importantly, it confirms that the official declaration of who was behind 9-11 was never based on facts, but on coerced confessions.

"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11. -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened

CIA destroyed video of 'waterboarding' al-Qaida detainees

"The tapes posed a serious security risk," the CIA's director, Michael Hayden, told agency employees in a statement yesterday. "Were they ever to leak, they would permit identification of your CIA colleagues who had served in the programme, exposing them and their families to retaliation from al-Qaida and its sympathisers."

"...but Valerie Plame and her family's well being were irrelevant." --Mike Rivero of What Really Happened

Thank you, sir!
