The Associated Press has revealed the CIA has tapes of 9/11 plotter Ramzi Binalshibh being interrogated in a secret overseas prison in Morocco. The two videotapes and one audiotape are believed to be the only remaining recordings made within the secret prison system. In 2005, the CIA destroyed ninety-two videos of other prisoners being interrogated and tortured. At the time, the agency believed they had wiped away all of the agency’s interrogation footage, but the tapes of Binalshibh were later discovered in a box under a desk in the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center. A Justice Department prosecutor who is already investigating whether destroying the other torture tapes was illegal is now also probing why the Binalshibh tapes were never disclosed. Twice, the government told a federal judge they did not exist. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/8/17/headlines#9 added by: treewolf39
