From the Boston Globe - "White House advised CIA to keep tapes":
White House and Justice Department officials, along with senior members of Congress, advised the Central Intelligence Agency in 2003 against a plan to destroy hundreds of hours of videotapes showing the interrogation of two operatives of Al Qaeda, government officials said yesterday.I thought the Director of National Intelligence was supposed to bring order to the intelligence communities, but we're still wandering in an intelligence nebula while top officials continue to do as they please. Infuriating.
The chief of the agency's clandestine service nevertheless ordered their destruction in 2005, taking the step without notifying the CIA's top lawyer, John A. Rizzo, who was angry at the decision, the officials said.

That's okay. While they're wandering out there maybe they'll bump into some of those space cadets who work in State.
Yeah, because unnamed partisans employed by the State Dept. are the equivalent to criminal destruction of evidence to a further crime.
It's almost 2008. Apparently there's nothing, no conceivable piece of new or shameful revelation whatsoever, that can bump this guy and other muttonheads like him out of their dreamworld. Wotta twit.
