WASHINGTON - The CIA says two destroyed interrogation videos likely were not covered by a court order.


In court documents filed late Wednesday night, CIA officials say they reviewed thousands of documents and found nothing suggesting the destroyed videos contained information related to a federal case.

While short on details, the documents offer the first public accounting of the investigation into the tapes' destruction. A federal judge demanded the information because, in 2005, he ordered the government to keep all evidence related to his Guantanamo Bay case.
