Happy New Year to you and everyone on this thread.
Wow! I didn’t realize the “Threat Matrix” has been going on for over 4 years.
I think THIS is another major obstacle in the War on Terror, trying to hamstring the CIA again, as they were before 9-11, keeping them from efficiently fighting against the terrorists. The CIA agents will have to focus more on being “PC”, than on obtaining information from terrorists, that may keep us safe.
Justice Dept. Sets Criminal Inquiry Into C.I.A. Tapes

Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey said Wednesday that the Justice Department had elevated its inquiry into the destruction of Central Intelligence Agency interrogation videotapes to a formal criminal investigation headed by a career federal prosecutor.
The announcement is the first indication that investigators have concluded on a preliminary basis that C.I.A. officers, possibly along with other government officials, may have committed criminal acts in their handling of the tapes, which recorded the interrogations in 2002 of two operatives with Al Qaeda and were destroyed in 2005.
C.I.A. officials have for years feared becoming entangled in a criminal investigation involving alleged improprieties in secret counterterrorism programs. Now, the investigation and a probable grand jury inquiry will scrutinize the actions of some of the highest-ranking current and former officials at the agency.
