    How naive to think that the other side hasn't done the same darned thing to our people. What about Col. Buckley U.S.M.C. in the Lebanon. Secrets have been extracted from people in the cruelest of fashions since way before Christ and the so called civilization of nations came about. The CIA must enjoy the same options as the enemy and today the threat of terrorism is greater than ever. Wake up people!

    If our Central Intelligence Agency does not have the confidence to protect our nation's secrets and has to destroy our taped secrets, then we'd better demand that our government replace the CIA with another agency can keep our nation's secrets.

    I keep worrying that the CIA can't keep secrets so that they have to destroy interrogation tapes. Perhaps, and I've mentioned this before, if our intelligence agency can't ensure that our nation's secrets be kept secret to protect our national security, then perhaps the CIA needs to be replaced by a better intelligence agency, one that has the confidence that it can keep our nation's secrets.
