WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — The Central Intelligence Agency in 2005 destroyed at least two videotapes documenting the interrogation of two Al Qaeda operatives in the agency’s custody, a step it took in the midst of Congressional and legal scrutiny about the C.I.A’s secret detention program, according to current and former government officials.....
The C.I.A. said today that the decision to destroy the tapes had been made “within the C.I.A. itself,†and they were destroyed to protect the safety of undercover officers and because they no longer had intelligence value.
HAhahahaha. Ahh. Yeah, that's it. To protect the safety of undercover officers....

Only from self-important twunts like John McCain.
Srsly haet those guys.
Well, the obvious answer that you can't use CGI to erase images on an analog videotape should spring immediately to mind. In fact, I'm not aware of *any* method you could reliably use to erase only one part of an image shown on a videotape in a manner that couldn't be recovered if someone wanted to.
Whatever. You're all free to assume that there was some other ulterior motive for them to destroy the tapes if you want I suppose.

They were only Muzzie foreigners intent on killing 'Mericans. A little waterboarding prolly taught them an appreciation for our vast water resources. I suppose we could have made them feel a little more at home by oilboarding them instead. How terribly insensitive of us.

True, who could possible imagine some new fangled technique that would convert analog video to digital. Maybe when we enter the brave new decade of the 1970s such a thing will become possible.

Atlanta's slated to run out of water in a month. We could have used that water!

Which is really funny coming from a guy who claims to have worked for the DoD for some period of time. Yes. I'm sure that the CIA keeps all their interrogations on videotape for posterity or something. Oh wait! They don't. They keep the tape just long enough to get a good transcription and then they destroy them.
It's SOP. You know that. Yet you give a bye to an argument implying that these particular video tapes must have been destroyed in order to conceal something from an investigation.
Look. I'm not even commenting on the interrogation's themselves. I have no clue what happened there. I'm simply pointing out that destroying videotapes of interrogations isn't unusual.

That is apparently factual according to NPR. Destruction of media which has material that can lead to leaks, revelation of agents, techniques, or methodology is routine once any pertinant information is filed. Interestingly, it was discussed how many of CIA's files are never placed on electronic formats due to the danger of copies being made. Paper reports are seemingly still the norm for a lot of the higher level stuff due to its safer aspects in terms of dissemination.

Actually, there was a case not far back where an undercover agent's identity was blown via a US congressman leaking it to the press. The agent was then fired as there was no use for her after her cover was blown.
Seriously? Did anybody go to jail for this travesty of justice?!?
