NEW YORK — A judge cited national security concerns in ruling Wednesday that the CIA does not have to release hundreds of documents related to the destruction of videotapes of Sept. 11 detainee interrogations that used harsh methods. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said he believed he had an obligation to let the CIA director decide what should be released when it pertains to methods used to make uncooperative detainees divulge information. "The need to keep confidential just how the CIA and other government agencies obtained their information is manifest, and that has to do with the identities of...

Rodriguez is scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Jan. 16.

 Destroying CIA Tapes Deserves a Thank You By Linda Chavez Friday, December 21, 2007 His name isn't yet familiar to most Americans, but I expect it will be by the end of 2008: Jose A. Rodriguez Jr. He is the man, according to recent press reports, who ordered the destruction of interrogation tapes made by the CIA, which allegedly show the effects of waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" used against terrorists Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. In the next few months, his name will likely be dragged through the mud, and he will be vilified as a rogue official...

WASHINGTON — A federal judge has ordered a hearing on whether the Bush administration violated a court order by destroying CIA interrogation videos of two Al Qaeda suspects. U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy rejected calls from the Justice Department to stay out of the matter. He ordered lawyers to appear before him Friday morning. In June 2005, Kennedy ordered the administration to safeguard "all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay." Five months later, the CIA destroyed the interrogation videos. The recordings involved suspected terrorists...

Rep. Jane Harman said Friday that she warned the CIA not to destroy videotapes of its interrogations of terror suspects and defended herself from critics who said she should have done more to prevent their disposal. CIA Director Michael Hayden disclosed Thursday night that congressional leaders, including Harman, had been informed of the agency's plan to destroy those tapes several years ago. Hayden was defending his agency from a New York Times report that the tapes had been destroyed in 2005. In an interview Friday, Harman said that after the briefing in 2003, she sent a letter to the CIA...

It's quite an epic, watching Blockbuster die. The nation's No. 1 video chain hopes to prolong its life with a hostile bid for the No. 2 video-store chain, Hollywood Entertainment. But make no mistake - it's dying. The whole video- store industry is dying, too. Meanwhile some high-rolling financiers are picking over the corpses. Renegade capitalist Carl Icahn has emerged as the largest investor in both Texas-based Blockbuster and Oregon- based Hollywood. Icahn is trying to put the chains together in a $1 billion deal. He'll most likely try to turn a fast buck with synergies, economies of scale, cost-...

Almost everywhere Londoners go in public, chances are they're being tracked by cameras. Now officials say the British capital's ubiquitous closed-circuit TV cameras may help police determine who was behind the attacks. Thousands of them watch the Underground system alone, and investigators have used the footage in the past to solve crimes. London's train stations are monitored by 1,800 cameras, and there are more than 6,000 watching the capital's Tube network. Cameras also have been installed on some London buses. On top of that, more and more people carry pocket-size digital cameras and camera phones, and some footage from such...

CHICAGO -- A federal judge has ordered eight companies and three people to pay $506 million to 46 male college athletes who were secretly videotaped in locker rooms, restrooms and showers. The videotapes were sold through Internet sites advertising "hot younger dudes." "We look at this judgment as the court system sending a signal to the sexual predators that they're not going to get away with this," said attorney Cindy Fluxgold, who represents several of the athletes. U.S. District Court Judge Charles P. Kocoras' decision, handed down last week, grants each of the 46 plaintiffs $1 million in compensatory damages...

Defense lawyers deny the government's claims that the men, along with alleged handler Abdel-Ilah Elmardoudi, were driven by radical Islamic fundamentalist beliefs to plot terrorist strikes on Las Vegas, an American air base in Turkey and...
