"The Central intelligence Agency (CIA) has destroyed 92 tapes of interviews conducted with terror suspects, a US government lawyer has admitted.

The agency had previously said that it had destroyed only two tapes.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has launched a lawsuit against the CIA to seek details of the interrogations of terror suspects.

Techniques involved are understood to have included water-boarding, which the Obama administration says is torture.

The acknowledgment of the 92 destroyed tapes came in a letter sent to the judge presiding over the ACLU lawsuit."

Seriously, is anyone

Seriously, is anyone shocked? The CIA is one of the dinosaurs that will struggle to find its place in the new paradigm, evolve or die.

This is an excellent example of how prosecutions for Bush crimes will actually play out.

This is why we should support Leahy's truth commission rather than go for prosecution and punishment for Bush-era crimes.
