We read with disgust that not only has the USA admitted breaking international law in allowing its Intelligence Agency to carry out water torture, but is now destroying the evidence.
'The CIA destroyed video evidence of the coercive interrogation of al-Qaida operatives held under its secret rendition programme in order to shield agents from prosecution, it was revealed yesterday.
The decision to destroy two videotapes documenting the use of waterboarding against Abu Zubaydah and another high-value al-Qaida detainee was made in November 2005 - as American media were just beginning to focus on the existence of the secret CIA prison network'
Isnt it time that the USA come clean and those responsible for ordering torture be brought to account ?
