I just sent an email to the Trib/LATimes reporters and the national news editor at the Trib who put this up today:
Hello : I read your article in the Chicago Tribune today.http://www.chicagotribune.com/services/newspaper/printedition/monday/chi-cia_10dec10,0,5736500.storyI hope this will story and its follow-up will continue to receive significant coverage!
I was wondering if any Tribune reporters are following up to try and find out what details/information were ON the videotapes ( .... BESIDES the actual torture scenes) and what happened after that information was "procured", ie was it reliable information or not? For "news" reporting in the TRIB I hope we don't only have to solely rely on whatever "news" the Justice Dept decides to release or some statement that a Congressperson has already said on TV, Meet The Press or whatever. The public is relying on you, the Fourth Estate, to get to the bottom of this ( and fast! if possible).
I've read some speculation on various sites on the internet and it seems to me they merit some investigation to find out if true: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gerald-posner/the-cias-destroyed-inter_b_75850.htmlPosner: Zubaydah named 3 Saudi Princes and Pakistani general during interrogation whom he thought would help him and who knew about 9/11 before 9/11. They all died "accidentally" shortly afterwards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Zubaydah
Risen: Re investigating Zubaydah's credit cards: "the timing of the reported seizure of records by Saudi intelligence closely coincided with the timing of Abu Zubaydah's capture...." (p. 177).
Just writing this I feel like I'm sounding like a kookie conspiracy theorist... but I'm not.... Mainly just curious and also I wish I were in your shoes to track this down! I believe many more people would know about it if it was investigated by a major news outlet such as the Trib/Times and printed in the paper. I have a feeling that this destruction of evidence case is finally going to be the big mistake that brings down ALL the corruption and illegal tactics of the Bush administration, ...and it could even link back to 9/11?
Good Luck from your loyal subsciber,
