WASHINGTON -- The CIA videotaped its interrogations of two top terror suspects in 2002 and destroyed the tapes three years later. -- The AP
I am thrilled to announce that I have discovered the missing CIA torture tapes. They actually turned up in Terry Gilliam's Brazil screenplay by Terry Gilliam, Tom Stoppard & Charles McKeown:
INT. 50TH FLOOR CORRIDOR - DAY
The lift arrives. SAM steps out. The Charlady remains in the lift. The doors close. Sam heads down surgically clean white-tiled corridor.
Passing a white-coated TECHNICIAN monitoring what appears to be electric meters, Sam comes to a door with 500L. Above the door a red light is glowing. Sam knocks. The red light goes out and a green light comes on. Sam enters.
INT. ROOM 500L - DAY
Inside there is a connecting door to he next door room but
the only person in the immediate room is a pleasant-looking
FEMALE TYPIST, wearing headphones, chewing gum and typing
with great facility. Sam approaches the Typist who, busily
typing, twinkles a greeting (mimed) and silently mouths
the words...
Sam nods, and stands quietly by her. He can hear tiny sounds coming through her headphones. He looks down at the piece of paper in the typewriter. He reacts a bit strangely, perhaps even winces. We see he close up of the words being struck crisply on paper.
TYPIST
(quietly, still
typing)
Can I help you?
She is looking at Sam helpfully, holding one of the earphones away from her ear. From this earphone we can just hear quietly...
SAM
I'm looking for Officer 412/L.
The Typist nods smiling. She puts back the earphone and carries on typing.
She types a little more but suddenly stops.
She takes off the earphones and takes the paper and carbonums out of her typewriter and starts collating all the different copies.
Through the frosted glass door leading into the next area, Sam can see a FIGURE come through a double door and turn left, making a silly 'hi' sign to the Typist as he exits from sight. She is charmed. Almost immediately after them, a white-coated TECHNICIAN exits, but to the left.
Thats where they are!
