Gonzales, Cheney's Lawyer Plotted Over CIA Torture Tapes

New York Times:

At least four top White House lawyers took part in discussions with the Central Intelligence Agency between 2003 and 2005 about whether to destroy videotapes showing the secret interrogations of two operatives from Al Qaeda, according to current and former administration and intelligence officials.

The accounts indicate that the involvement of White House officials in the discussions before the destruction of the tapes in November 2005 was more extensive than Bush administration officials have acknowledged.

The destruction of the CIA tapes that documeted the interrogation of the highest level and highest value terrorist suspects was a :

FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act.

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism

That is what the Acronym 'Patriot Act' stands for.

DESTROYING Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism is a clear violation of the USA Patriot Act.

Prosecuting high level whitehouse officials with FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act in connection with the destruction of the CIA tapes is critical.

DO NOT be persuaded to fill your mind with visions of TORTURE and 'HOMICIDAL FANTASY' these are psychological weapons being used against you so that you cannot clearly see the crime committed here.

The CRIME is a FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act, hidden in plain sight, right in front of your nose, and it stinks so horribly, why can nobody smell this STINK !

What does it matter. These people could rape nuns on the White House lawn and no would do a damn thing about it. Just wait until a Dem is elected President again and gets impeached for crossing against a light.

Bush probably lied again, but maybe everyone at the WH is ignoring the fool.

Looks like this will keep the HP and DailyKos types in a tizzy until the next "conspiracy" comes and goes. It must be tough getting repeatedly worked up over this stuff while the public at large yawns.

It is entertaining, however, to read the Pavlovian responses. I can visualize the foam & spittle dripping from the mouths of the bloggers as they type.

Something new every day. But does it go anywhere? This is what happens when one party owns everything, including the media. But I know who will get blamed for "not doing anything," -- the Dems. And if they do bring it up, they'll be called whiners, soft on this, soft on that. And all the "patriots" will vote another idiot Republican into office. (God, I hope I'm wrong!!!)

Pardon, Pardon, Pardon.

King George is above the law. And the Whore Pelosi has taken Impeachement off the table.

America loses.

Is it just me, or doesn't Harriet Meiers faintly resemble Emperor Palpatine?

Yiiiiikes ! But that Harriet Miers is tough to look out. Rethugs are not only putrid on the inside ,but they are some butt-ugly human beings on the outside as well.

Hillary and Obama never say shit about the corruption, that disqualifies both of them.

I just went onto Faux News to hear their slant on this. They say it isn't true because Dana said so. Wow, that's some pretty powerful evidence, huh?

A BLOWJOB! You impeached the last president over a damn blowjob but all of...this BS you have no problem with.

I can only imagine if Clinton had done even a fraction of this how loud the roar from the right would be in defense of the constitution and the letter of the law.

But since the guy screwing us all is from your party, you shrug your shoulders and go "oh, well."

Pitiful.
