Observatio

Howcome everyone is shocked -- shocked! -- that the CIA destroyed videotapes of interrogators torturing a human being?* It's the CIA, man. They toppled the governments of Iran and Guatemala (how soon we forget), they tried to kill Castro with sploding seegars and poisoned wetsuits, and they mined the harbors of Nicaragua, flouting international law.

It's the CIA.
