Which Lie To Believe? CIA "admits" destroying evidence it claimed didn't exist...
(Original includes links to cites.)
http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=2007120816312...

Writing in TIME magazine, former CIA agent and occasional "conspiracy theory" debunker, Robert Baer, concedes that 9/11 skeptics seem all the more credible after the CIA admits destruction of key evidence. Full-time debunker Gerald Posner also sees a cover-up.

The most important document in the official mythology of September 11th, The 9/11 Commission Report, is based largely on the reported statements of three prisoners: Khalid Sheikh Mohamed, Ramzi Binalshibh, and Abu Zubaydah. (...)

The 9/11 Commission asked to see Mohamed and other prisoners, and was denied. The only evidence of his existence provided to the Commission was in the form of printed English-language transcripts of interrogations supposedly held at the Guantanamo prison. Videotapes were said not to exist. (...) Ernest May, one of the architects of the Report, admitted in a May 2005 memoir that the Commission never had full confidence that the words (attributed to Mohamed and co. in the transcripts) were truly theirs.

We learned this week that CIA videotapes of at least some of these supposed interrogations -- the tapes which were previously said not to have existed -- are now said to have been destroyed in 2005. (...)

(Or see more or less the same article at link below -- kicking off my new blog.)

1. Either they're telling the truth that they didn't want the questioners identfied
or they did it because the Bush oval office told them to.

4. They can't be telling the truth about not wanting the questioners identified
It's very easy to disguise voices and mask faces if identities on video need protecting, no need to destroy the video. There's more to it than that.

2. There is a must read article about this at huffington post. Says that what was hidden has
nothing to do with the torture, and everything to do with Zubaydah's statements about the Saudis and someone in the pakistani military...and that all 4 royal saudis named by him died within one week. (car crashes, etc, but these were all princes.)
