Criminal investigation starts over deleted CIA torture tapes
From BBC online
The US justice department is to launch a criminal investigation into the CIA’s erasing of videotapes of interrogations of two al-Qaeda suspects.
It follows last month’s preliminary joint inquiry with the CIA into whether a full investigation was necessary.
Critics have accused the CIA of a cover-up to hide evidence of possible torture and abuse of detainees.
