I understand no laws were broken…therefore save the investigation for the “Swimmer” and him drowning a secretary. The statute of limitations does not run out on murder.

And we know that the news media has NEVER destroyed any of THEIR tapes (except if the tapes incriminate liberals…).

Wait a minute. I thought Bush’s own lawyer Harriet Miers told them not to destroy the tape.

It will be interesting to see if the White House’s ostensibly unemphatic “don’t do that” will now be deemed to be a tacit endorsement of the tapes’ destructio

Happened immediately But according to the article, it really didn't matter what the WH, DOJ et al said since the CIA peeps involved really didn't care what their OWN lawyers said...

The former official said the leaders of the clandestine service believed they “didn’t need to ask Rizzo’s permission.”

So much for that oppressive, terrorizing the CIA White House meme the left coveted to dearly.

“They never told us, ‘Hell, no,’” he said. “If somebody had said, ‘You cannot destroy them,’ we would not have destroyed them.”

That’s oddly reminiscent of Bob Novak’s explanation for publishing Valerie Plame’s name after talking to the CIA. In Novak’s case, he was expected to interpret the formal, unemphatic “don’t do that” as an absolute “No.”

It will be interesting to see if the White House’s ostensibly unemphatic “don’t do that” will now be deemed to be a tacit endorsement of the tapes’ destruction by the left.

Doesn’t matter…

Press will report this… on page 87 underneath the underwear adds…

Of course, the other parts got headlines and front page… earlier…

Damage is done. Myth is perpetuated…

Oh… sorry… gotta go…

Gotta go get the Global Warming off the driveway…

The White House advised against destroying the tapes. We await apologies from Sen. Kennedy and everyone else on the left who went nuts with Watergate talk over all of this.

You’re not holding your breath, are you?
