#1 The CIA ought to tell the Dems really plainly that they know where all the Democrats trash is buried and it would be a good idea to walk away from this. There are no honest politicians in Washington DC.

#2 I fear this situation will lead to the acquittal of many terrorist cases that make their way into the criminal justice system - and that could be where all terrorist cases wind up.
I also fear for our country, since it is clear that political points are more important than the national interest to a great many people. Even if these tapes were destroyed illegally (which does not appear to have been the case) and if they showed criminal torture (which also seems unlikely) the investigation and consequences should have been done quietly and behind the scenes. The CIA and other intelligence agencies have enough problems without crap like this.

#3 See below - this is the fig leaf for the dems collapse on opposing funding for the troops. And their leftard supporters will be distracted by it just fine...

#4 Seems to me the Democrats are pissed about the tapes being destroyed precisely because they can't now be used by the democrats or MSM (see NYT) to expose agents.

I think someone like Congressman "Bagdad Jim" McDermitt would be more then willing to 'leak' the tape to the media - he's done it he'll do it again.

#5 "Sure, sure. We'll get on that right after we wrap up the Sandy Berger imbroglio."

#7 Will Jane Harmon (D-CA) on the 'Intelligence' Committee, tell Dick Turbin (D-IL) that she was told about this pending tapes destruction in 2003? Will Little Dick say 'Jane, you ignorant slut' on tv? Will the NYT and the Benedict Arnold Society hire Ramsey Clark to sue for bail for the Gitmo Bay 348? Can Breck Edwards channel Zarkowi for the inside story? Showtime!

#8 Given the Abu Gahrib fiascal, i don't blame the CIA for trashing the tapes. The donks have NO use for the tapes other than using them for political gain.

#9 All of this over a stupid video tape but not one single breath about that stupid NIE changing 180 degrees in less than four months. THATS what you need to investigate. It is obvious there is an intelligence problem in DC.

And they call republicans inept.
