Because they know the limitations of Bush's mind, it wouldn't surprise me if his underlings, especially Cheney & Gates, tell him very little. And Bush doesn't have the knowledge or intelligence to ask a whole lot of questions.

likely consequently of certainty it will make the CIA, the CIA Director, and the Bush Admin look as though they not in basic terms condone torture, yet propose utilising it. so as that they don't go with on any CIA torture tapes to happen, like the Gitmo photographs, once you think approximately that that became into extremely embarrassing now, wasn't it? It makes you comprehend why Bush did not go with on the U. S. to hitch for the international criminal courtroom like one 0 five distinctive international places. We does not go with directly to be accused of torture and held responsible for it, now might we?

It is just as likely that Bush knew about the tapes the way that Reagan knew what ol' Ollie North was shredding...but even if he did not know - it should not be used as an excuse. I would think that the people who you "appoint" to those positions would advise you on the most important of matters or those that could be trouble in the future and that you would make it your business to know. Personally, it doesn't matter if he knew or not, it is his Administration and he should take responsibility for it.

No. He gets informed just like everyone else.
Is that what they are now? "Torture Tapes"?
I thought they were interrogation tapes that the Director said were destroyed (BY HIM) for national security purposes.
How does Bush know everything?

It is possible but remember that a CEO, as Bush seems to think he is, is held accountable for whatever happens in his company whether directly responsible or not.

I don't see why it wouldn't be POSSIBLE...
Lying and secrecy is the CIA's business, it's what they do, every day... In many ways the director of the CIA is more powerful than the President. Think of the whole Iraq=WMD affair, it WAS the CIA's intel that led us to war...

Yes, does every employee tells their boss everything they do? Plus it was destroyed in 2005, before the issue of water boarding was raised.

Criminally destroyed? Seriously? How would the CIA destroy tapes of top secret interrogations in a non-criminal fashion?

I think it is very possible. Bush seems mostly out-of-touch in the first place and there is little reason to suspect that the CIA divulges every nuance of their operations with him.

More so than Hillary being totally clueless in the Whitewater business.
