The White House on Wednesday made a rare public demand for a formal correction from the New York Times for implying that it had misled the US public over the destruction of CIA interrogation videos.
The US Justice Department, the White House, and US lawmakers have all launched probes after CIA chief Michael Hayden revealed earlier this month that the agency in 2005 destroyed tapes of interrogations of two Al-Qaeda suspects.
Hayden said the recordings, made in 2002, were destroyed to protect the identities of CIA agents, but the news outraged lawmakers and human rights groups who charges the agency may be covering up possible torture.
Late Tuesday, the Times reported that four top White House lawyers were more involved than previously acknowledged in the decision.
How about bite me white house !! It’s OK to lie, (Fox) but only if you lie for the Neocons !! The NYTimes didn’t lie, Bush lied and then cried when he got called on it !! What a dick Bush is.
