Judge won't look into destruction of CIA tapes
A federal judge refused on Wednesday to delve into the destruction of CIA interrogation videos, saying there was no evidence the Bush administration violated a court order and the Justice Department deserved time to conduct its own investigation.The decision was a victory for the Bush administration, which had urged the court not to wade into a politically charged issue already being investigated by the Justice Department, CIA and Congress.
It really is a neocon conspiracy, isn't it?
Especially when you consider that judge was nominated -- yeah, you guessed it -- by Bill Clinton.
I don't know, maybe Bush and Cheney are using their mind-control powers again....

The judge obviously forgot to wear his foil hat one day and the mind-control rays got to him. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

I love this. For once an agency charged with the security of this country is able to actually perform it's job without the details being splashed all over the front pages of the NYT.

Ooops, forgot. Dick Cheney was spotted in the aircraft commanders seat......with a big sh*t eating grin on his face.

Well, since the Clintons are using Diebold to steal elections, aren't they part of the VRWC now? I guess Hillary will have to blame the Vast Neo-Con-spiracy now....

Point taken, but it appears as though Hillary wants a "Department of Blogging:"

Department of Blogging? Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose? It's bad enough that newspapers call themselves bloggers, let alone paid beurocrats. Typical Hillary. Find another way to spend my money on something useless. I bet the communications would be about as useful as government communications to the people in Venezuela or North Korea. Something reminiscent of the Communications director of Iraq right before we went to war.
Oh Hillary...

God forbid anyone would find an Administration argument with merit, right?
This is a diagnosable disorder, you know.

I'm sorry, I haven't been paying attention to this: why were these tapes destroyed?
