Did anyone else hear Larry Johnson say the CIA tapes weren't destroyed?

[tekisui]

On the Stephanie Miller Show today, ex-CIA spy Larry Johnson said that he didn't believe the tapes, at least not all of the tapes, had been destroyed. He mentioned that someone(in Congress?) had viewed them as recently as the fall of 2006.

Did anyone catch that or know what he is talking about?

If there are copies left, I am sure many people are all the more interested in finding what on them is so threatening.

This story stinks something rotten.

6. Somethings don't add up.

Under sharp questioning from Judge Brinkema, the Justice Department had denied that any videotapes of the interrogations existed. But Rosenberg wrote that the CIA, without the Justice Department's knowledge, "possessed the three recordings" at the time the department made its declaration.

The government's declaration, made on November 14, 2005, came amid a dispute between Judge Brinkema and the government over Moussaoui's requests for access to confidential documents and the right to call captive al-Qaida members as witnesses. The government refused, citing national security.

Judge Brinkema "ordered the government to disclose various information. . .including whether interrogations were recorded," Rosenberg wrote. The judge later reconsidered most of his order, at the government's request, "but still directed the government to confirm or deny that it has video or audio tapes of these interrorgations."

The government responded with a declaration by a CIA executive that "The U.S. Government does not have any video or audio tapes of the interrogations," Rosenberg's letter continued.

The Justice Department has always denied the tapes exist. The CIA allowed the judge in the Moussaoui case to view them in Sept. 2007, but now claim that they were destoyed in 2005.

No mention of the audio, though.

8. So the Judge is a witness to the existence of the tape(s) and what was/is on it/them.
