Oh, Tapes! So Sorry, I Thought You Wanted Information About 9/11

So, federal prosecutors will now be presented with a memorandum from the 9/11 Commission stating that they think further investigation is required to determine whether laws were broken in the withholding of CIA videotapes relevant to the Commission’s inquiry.

Lee Hamilton put it best. “I don’t know whether that’s illegal or not, but it’s certainly wrong.”

The revelation that the White House’s role in the decision-making process to destroy the “torture tapes” in 2005 was far greater than originally known raises questions about whether the decision to withhold their very existence from the Commission involved the White House or others outside the CIA as well.

And so it goes.

Apparently, the CIA has been coached by someone skilled in the stonewalling arts and wishful hairsplitting (or crossing one’s fingers behind their back) when coming up with the rationale that no one specifically asked for ‘videotapes’ when requesting all relevant information having to do with 9/11.

Oh, well, then alright— that explains why the Commission shouldn’t have access to relevant information about an attack on the US.

It also explains why we’ll probably be finding out more about what else the Commission didn’t get access to— during the course of investigations now certain to begin…
