Something is going to go down soon with regard to the destroyed torture tapes. People don’t get granted immunity for no reason. It doesn’t look too likely that Porter Goss is going to go down for it, but it’s not out of the question. However, this may be a reprise of the Plame case where the prosecutor finds it too difficult to prosecute the underlying crime and instead opts to nail people for perjury. And I have no way of telling who lied to the prosecutor or the FBI and whether they might get caught for those lies.
It would be nice, however, to see someone very high up get a taste of prison life for their involvement in torture. That would be the least we should expect.
This is my version of hopey/changey.
It takes a long time to gather evidence that will hold up in court for these types of crimes.
The destroyed tapes make Nixon look like a choirboy and everyone now understands what getting rid of tapes means.
Goss is a creep. He’s also not smart enough to avoid doiing the stupid little things that get him in trouble.
I can kind of understand why they destroyed the tapes, but it was a crime to cover up another crime. They protected the interrogators but that’s probably how it should be. The people who ordered it and then covered it up should be the first to face justice, and not the other way around.
Accountability is so important. I don’t think this country will survive if we keep forgiving everyone everything..!
