The best take on the CIA tape scandal comes from NOLA blogger Ernie the Attorney:
Ernie The Attorney: What is the CIA doing?
I’m not in the least bit shocked that the CIA would try to destroy the tapes of an interrogation. It’s a spy agency for God’s sake, not an accounting firm. The whole foundation of the CIA is based on secrecy and covert operations, not transparency and accountability. Yet I too have to confess to being shocked by this revelation. Why? Well, apparently our top spy agency is too inept to handle even a simple cover up operation. This a very despairing revelation.It’s sort of like finding out that your Karate instructor was beaten up by an interior decorator.
