It seems the CIA is against the crimes of the executive branch as well.

Don't worry I'm not naive but all hope has not left me yet.

Answer 1

If you depend on the NY Times to accurately report anything fair and/or balanced you're in trouble from the start. They've become more of a blog than a newspaper. Which accounts for their 40%+ drop in subscribors in the last few years.

Answer 2

Let's organize a massive, nationwide protest against the policies of the current administration. We want to end the war, we want the whole truth about 9/11, and we want the executive branch to be held accountable to the law. It's time to take back the country our ancestors gave their lives for.

CIA Chief Says They Urged Caution in Destroying Tapes

According to CIA officials, the videos recorded the response of two top al-Qaeda figures incarcerated in 2002 at secret prisons to a simulated-drowning technique known as waterboarding, as well as other "enhanced techniques" meant to pry loose secret information about terrorist plans.

The tapes were destroyed in November 2005, after the secret prisons' existence was disclosed by The Washington Post, in what the CIA says was a security measure intended to protect the identities of agency officers who participated in the interrogations.

The disclosures about Hayden's testimony came as the CIA, faced with a threat of congressional subpoenas, announced that it would begin turning over documents related to the tapes to oversight committees as early as today. Reversing an administration decision last week to defer any cooperation with Congress, the CIA also said it will comply with lawmakers' requests to allow its officers to testify about the tapes.

Subpoenas have been prepared. We hope we don't have to use them," Reyes said.

His committee has requested a broad range of documents related to the tapes, as well as copies of memos and notes from the agency's internal debate of nearly three years over whether to destroy them. A CIA spokesman said the agency is already preparing to transmit the materials to Congress.

"We will work to make sure the committee knows everything it needs to know," the official said.
