Justice Dept.: No Charges in CIA Destruction of Interrogation Tapes
-------------------------------------------------------------------



The Justice Department has announced no one will be charged for the
destruction of videos showing the interrogation of two foreign
prisoners. The tapes were destroyed amidst worries they would do
political damage if ever publicly revealed. According to the Washington
Post, charges still could be filed related to obstruction of justice or
misleading investigators during the probe. The prosecutor heading the
case, John Durham, is conducting a separate investigation into whether
CIA interrogators and contractors should be charged for the Bush-era
torture and abuse of foreign prisoners.
