The Justice Department and the Central Intelligence Agency’s internal watchdog on Saturday began a joint preliminary inquiry into the spy agency’s destruction of hundreds of hours of videotapes showing interrogations of top operatives of Al Qaeda.If you are an upstanding patriotic American working for an intelligence outfit like the C.I.A., then why would you want to have tapes of your interrogations destroyed?
Officials have acknowledged that the destruction of evidence like videotaped interrogations could raise questions about whether the C.I.A. was seeking to hide evidence of coercion...
Are you not an upstanding patriotic American? Did you do something that you fear could harm yourself or others? Did you decide to take a matter that is outside of the realm of your power and make an illegal decision? Were you coerced by a higher up to take that action?
