Taking The Dis To A Whole New Level
...it isn't some sort of deep insider's secret that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency have a history of getting along like particularly maladjusted siblings. The intelligence failures surrounding 9/11 and the vicious round of recriminations in the aftermath did little to bring any sort of comity to their relationship; the interrogation opportunities presented after the Afghanistan invasion brought a gaggle of conspirators, enablers, fellow travelers, "persons of interest", hapless farmers, innocent or misguided children, and otherwise innocent bystanders to that American enclave on the eastern tip of Cuba that everybody came to know as "Gitmo" haven't brought the FBI and the CIA any closer together...
Given the institutional rivalry and the seeming ascendancy of the CIA in Gee Dub's Great War on Terra, there has to be a certain delicious sense of irony for the FBI in its assigned roll as lead investigator in the CIA's intentional destruction of interrogation video tapes. It's truly a wonderful combination of circumstances for folks in the FBI: dealing with an agency that has engaged in interrogation techniques to which they strenuously object on legal, moral, and technical reasons while at the same time investigating garden-variety, run-of-the-mill obstruction of justice and evidence destruction by those same people. The FBI took a brutal hammering in the post-9/11 investigation that wasn't helped at all by the classic 'mechanic's shrug' clean hands approach that the CIA took in trying to deflect as much blame as possible away from itself...
"Turnabout's Fair Play"; "Payback's a Bitch"; "All's Fair in Love and War". Pick one; circle your favorite. Heck, pick all three if it feels right. This may not be the moment when half a century's chickens come home to roost, but it is safe to say that history matters. The simple fact is that if interrogation video tapes made by CIA employees were destroyed after after both federal investigative boards and federal courts had in effect been told they didn't exist, somebody has a lot of 'splainin' to do, Lucy, and the FBI is in all likelihood both ready and willing to help untangle this problem...
