"Justice attorneys may have known CIA had destroyed tapes; Federal court documents show that prosecutors had been informed of the destruction of the interrogation videos"

"Justice attorneys may have known CIA had destroyed tapes; Federal court documents show that prosecutors had been informed of the destruction of the interrogation videos": This article appears today in The Los Angeles Times.

The New York Times reports today that "C.I.A. Destroyed Tapes as Judge Sought Interrogation Data."

ABCNews.com reports that "Terrorist's Appeal Uncovers CIA Tape Info; Documents in Moussaoui Case Show How Much Government Knew of Interrogation Tapes."

And The Associated Press reports that "Prosecutor May Have Known of CIA Tapes."

The relevant filings that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit unsealed yesterday in redacted form consist of: (1) Moussaoui's motion for a limited remand; (2) the federal government's brief in opposition thereto; (3) Moussaoui's reply brief in support of his motion for a limited remand; (4) a supplemental letter from the federal government; and (5) Moussaoui's supplemental response. The fourth and fifth items on this list appear to be particularly relevant to the news articles linked above.

Another motion that Moussaoui's appellate lawyers have recently filed, and that the Fourth Circuit unsealed in redacted form yesterday, points out that those lawyers are greatly restricted in their ability to discuss the case with their client.
