CIA destroyed interrogation video tapes

In the media lately we have been told that CIA have destroyed tapes of violoent interrogations after the American Civli Liberties Union (ACLU) decided to go ahead and press charges against the intelligence agency in a court in New York.

US temporary minister of justice, Mr. Lev Dassin, writes about the video tapes in a letter to the judge in charge of the case. Earlier the CIA only admitted to destroying a few tapes but now it seems that over 90 tapes have been destroyed.

According to the New York Times the tapes shows interrogations of Abu Zubaydah, suspected member of the al-Qaida and Abdel Rahim al-Nashiri suspected to be involved in the bombing of the warship USS Cole outside Yemen in the year 2000 when 17 able bodies seamen died as a result.

Dassin have now asked the court of law to order CIA to produce when documentation of the case can be turned over to the court.

I wonder if we will ever know what happened to the Egyptian people the CIA picked up here at Bromma in Stockholm in 2001  and taken away to some suiteable country well clear of American and European laws and order. I doubt they will ever be seen again in any official capacity or else.
