  What would cause the CIA to take this action? The answer is obvious -- cover up. The agency was desperate to cover up damning evidence of their practices. In a letter to agency employees yesterday, CIA Director Michael Hayden claimed that the tapes were a security risk because they might someday "leak" and thereby identify the CIA employees who engaged in these practices.

  But that excuse won't wash. I am second to no one in wanting to protect the brave men and women of the CIA. But how is it possible that the Director of the CIA has so little faith in his own agency?

  The following from the article, just about says it all!

  "As founder John Adams said, our nation is "a nation of laws, not men." That basic principle is at risk today from an administration that is engaging in a cover-up -- systematically destroying records, commuting sentences, and stonewalling Congressional investigations. The CIA's role in this cover-up is only the latest reminder that Congress must fight harder to prevent this administration from making a mockery of the rule of law, and to preserve the right of the American people to know what the government has been doing in their name."

  Thanks engineer, good article!

  The W administration worried about the identity of a CIA operative getting leaked? This has by far got to be the biggest bunch of crap I have heard in my life.

  Those tapes were not shown to Congress. They were not shown to any court. They were not shown to the bipartisan 9-11 Commission. Instead, they were destroyed.
