Oops! (Again)

You're going to have to wait a little longer to get your hands on that CIA waterboarding video from the Underground Tape Railroad.

The CIA destroyed videotaped interrogations of two top terror suspects in 2005 out of fear they would leak to the public and compromise the identities of U.S. questioners.

"The Agency was determined that it proceed in accord with established legal and policy guidelines. So, on its own, CIA began to videotape interrogations," CIA Director Michael Hayden said of the decision to record interrogations in 2002. Yet the CIA decided to destroy the tapes in "the absence of any legal or internal reason to keep them," he added, saying "they were no longer of intelligence value and not relevant to any internal, legislative or judicial inquiries." At least not to the CIA.

Rule of thumb - any grown man who still acts out Little Bunny Foo Foo is not to be trusted
