Yeah, right? The CIA will disavow any knowledge of anything it does. It's not Radio Shack, when the People and Congress have questions, the CIA does not have, or won't give, answers.

lol. like the senate has any power. bunch of losers.

the new gestapoes, remember they liked to tape their killings also, it is only a matter of time, till the jack boots are walking on our rights here, this administration treats the american citizens like worms,

U.S. President George W. Bush has no recollection of being told about CIA interrogation tapes and their destruction before he was briefed by the CIA director on Thursday, the White House said.

"I asked the president about whether he knew about the tapes and their existence or their destruction, he said he had no recollection of that. He did not remember being made aware of those prior to yesterday morning," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said on Friday.

*** Good on ya Bush - deny everything to the last that might show the world what an idiot you truly are!

How dare the Senate demand answers from the Firm.Look at CIA website.It's full of hypocritical mush and sentimentality.They condiser themselves a community and a family.So does the Manson family.I have a great deal more respect for the Gambinos than I do for them.The Gambinos make very little pretense about what they are.I wonder what else the Firm might be hiding about their black operations within US borders.All you have to do is slap people with National Security Letters and the Bush and Clinton clans can invoke their Emergency Powers Act(see White House website for 11/9/2007) and you have your own internal Gulag with ghost prisoners.You would not believe what is going on inside your own borders.

Reminds you of the Nazi regime hurriedly burying evidence of their attrocities.

The Bush adninistration is pulling on all the stops to conceal their crimes.

As usual congress is impotent.

George Bush does not recall being told about the interrogation tapes. When will a person in authority, who should know, be held accountable for 'not recalling?'

This administration will be "ruining" the country for nearly another year. Can citizens wait that long?

I blame the Republicans for Congressional impotency. They are the majority, but until we have 60 Dems (or 60 senators who will stand up to the Administration), the Administration rules. Sad situation.

The interrogation tapes posed a "security risk" because they might be leaked, so the CIA destoyed them? That is the lamest excuse ever. Isn't the CIA full of sensitive data, including information on their operatives, that wold also pose a security risk if leaked? Why destroy these tapes but nothing else?

They waterboard these guys to give false confessions about 911. I say false becacuse our government blew those buildings up. Now that they have found that waterboarded confessions are not tolerated they destroyed them.

What happened to WTC building #7 and why does everyone look surprised to find out that three buldings fell on 911 and not two?

This is what happened. Right after 911 they knew the American people wanted revenge so they waterboarded false confessions out of so-called terrorists to use as proof but change that stance and went with the Bin Laden video as proof. Since the false confessions are no longer needed they destroyed the videos. That simple.

Aggressive interrogative practices do not sit well with our high ethical and moral standards, yet presented with the worst situation imaginable, most of us would commit to it without hesitation. To deny that we would, is just a lie we tell ourselves so we still feel civilized. Thankfully, most of us will never find ourselves in such a dilemma.

We are in a battle with an enemy that seeks nothing less than our extinction, and is willing to sacrifice everything, including their own lives and those of their loved ones to bring that desire to ruition. Yes, we must have laws and order as a civilized society, but we are not engaged in battle with a foe whom fights by our standards or rules of engagement. Killing another human is considered a moral sin, yet we justify it when defending our own lives, and even simple possessions.

None of the detainees have been murdered, or beheaded as our hostages have been in the homeland of the enemy. None of our detainees are made to renounce their country, their government, their families, or their god in front of an internet audience to intimidate our enemies. They keep all their fingers, toes, and other body parts attached. We don't find out where our detainees live and capture their families and kill them one by one in front of them until they confess.

It is naive for us to think we will not "lower" ourselves to aggressive interrogation practices. We have proven time and again that when the situation "warrants" it, we will get answers by whatever means are necessary. Do I think that is right? No, but is it right for a lamb to die so I can have my lamb chops? Who knows. I am glad I do not have to do it, and I do not stand in judgment of the farmer who does. It is also ignorant for people to compare what we do in our quest for information that may save us all, to the tactics of our enemy. To them, we are the lambs. Our bleating will not make them turn and go away. "We cannot fight them the way we are."

A lot of the 'evidence' that 9/11 was perpetrated by Bin Laden was in the form of 'confessions' by two or three key prisoners. There was some doubt as to the veracity of the confessions due to severe duress placed during the torture. Now we come to find there's not even a record of the confessions? This throws the government's 9/11 theory into question even further.

U.S. Senate: While your at it, ask why the woman that came here and set-up a fake marriage with an American was allowed to participate??? For whatever reason, that story was quickly ignored by the media.....

Some neo-con on here said, "We are in a battle with an enemy that seeks nothing less than our extinction".

The only enemy I see in the room are people like you who continue to perpetrate the myth of 'good' us vs. 'evil' them, with war being the only solution. You neo-conservative fools got us into the mess in Iraq, and ALMOST got us into another mess with Iran. Thank God 'good' forces within our own government stopped you neo-cons dead in your tracks trying to lie your way into yet another conflict. The days of endless war and endless profits for your defense contractor cronies are over. Did anyone notice that as soon as the private security firm scandal hit and was exposed that suddenly the violence level in Iraq decreased? Strange coincidence, huh...

It feels like the 9/11 dam is about to break. Gird yourself, America. Can you handle the truth?

Predictably, such an article brings out every KOOK to express his/her idiotic opinions about the matter of protecting America from foreign attacks. It is significant that this article is published on Pearl Harbor Day (KOOKs, FYI it was the day the Japanese attacked the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. The Dems in Washington had watched the Japanese overrun a good part of China and did nothing - as the Liberal KOOKs want us to do now. Dumb-Dumbs, I was in that was and I do not wish to be in another, so shut up and hope those brave men who are fighting to save your collective and worthless A%#es are successful. I don't recall any liberal at any time, anywhere, ever criticizing the Japanese for the Bataan Death March, about which none of you KOOKs probably have ever heard. That was real torture, not petty stuff like our forces do to enemy combatants today to obtain valuable information to protect America.

The Bush "SLIMEBALL" SS Administration and
all of congress, both democrats and
republicans make me want to puke!!!!!!

Water board Bush until he can remember...He is now taking a page out of the Gonzales play book.."I don't know"??? The worlds biggest liar..407 more days of this piece of garbage.

Who would Jesus waterboard? Torture? The America we used to know has been lost to evil warmongering Neocon maniacs. Supporting Neocons is like supporting Satan.Neocons are traitors to the true American way.
