Empty Gesture, Wasted Time

Nothing, repeat NOTHING!, will come of this! Do not get your hopes up. Do not entertain the idea that any oversight of any caliber exists in our government. There simply isn’t any. Oversight will not occur until after a democrat takes the office of president again or when republicans really are in the minority, or both.

Justice, CIA to probe destruction of taped interrogations

Michael Hayden
CIA Director M. Hayden: Agency will cooperate fully.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Justice Department and the CIA will jointly investigate the destruction of videotapes of CIA interrogations of two al Qaeda suspects, a top official said.

The Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for national security, Kenneth L. Wainstein, announced the investigation Saturday in a letter to the CIA’s top lawyer, John Rizzo.

The probe will determine “whether further investigation is warranted,” Wainstein said.

CIA Director Mike Hayden said his agency will cooperate fully.

“I welcome it as an opportunity to address questions that have arisen over the destruction back in 2005 of videotapes,” he said.

Also from the article:

“President Bush and Vice President Cheney learned about the videotapes Thursday, when Hayden briefed them about the tapes and their subsequent destruction, administration officials said Friday.”

That’s their official position, for now, and they’re sticking by it! *wink*
