CIA Torture Tape Scandal................

Who Will Take the Fall for the CIA Torture Tape Scandal?

"The actions of three key Latino government officials may determine whether the torture tape investigation reaches the White House.

As he concluded a closed-door congressional hearing into the CIA torture tape scandal, Committee Chairman Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, on Wednesday opened the country to a historic possibility: that the fate of the investigation into the destruction of the tapes will be decided by Latino government officials. Current and former Latino officials may even determine whether the investigation reaches the White House."

That's what I was wondering. Then I realized that it's a left-wing source, so it's ok

As I understand it, its quite clear that the White House instructed the CIA to retain the tapes....

They are official government records that must be kept, but unlike the missing email that the White House intentionally erased, the only folks in legal jeopardy over disclosure of the tapes would have been CIA employees...so why would they take the risk and instruct the CIA to erase them??
