I find your theory very plausible.
I hope Ashcroft can subpoena the footage. Man... would that be a NEWS story, or what??? I am sure the NY Times would cover it... on page F-26!! Of course there will still be more 'torture' photos of Abu Grhaib and a story that accuses Dubya of secretly stopping by at Thanksgiving and personally administering it!
Sounds plausible to me..
