Probe of CIA video destruction winding down
Source: Reuters


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A criminal probe into the CIA's destruction of videotapes showing harsh interrogations of terrorism suspects is almost finished, court papers made public this week show.

Investigators expect to complete interviewing witnesses by the end of February, two months later than initially forecast, John Durham, an acting U.S. Attorney named to head the probe, wrote in a court filing.

"Investigations such as this, involving the handling and review of highly sensitive and compartmented information, pose particular challenges which result in inevitable delays that are not encountered in typical criminal cases," Durham said.

He said "a considerable portion" of the investigators' work had been completed, but several witnesses needed to be interviewed or reinterviewed.

The probe was launched last January after revelations that the CIA in 2005 destroyed videos of the interrogations of terrorism suspects Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.

1. Who really thinks this will amount to anything? I sure don't. But I would love
to be proven wrong.

I won't be though. No one will ever pay for what this bunch of criminals has done.

2. I would love to be wrong as well, but once moron* is out the door
along with his* room full of dopes, this will be shuffled to the back of the room and be quietly put out of it's misery.
