Did Douglas Feith (OSP) have access to CIA torture tapes?

Maybe you can help me figure it out.

Office of Special Plans was started 9/2002. Remember Feith demanded and got the RAW intelligence he used to spin and stovepipe.

NYC was on alert over the warns and confessions extracted from Abu Zubaydah by torture by 5/2002.

Pentagon review cites tapes showing interrogations
By Mark Mazzetti and Scott Shane
Published: March 13, 2008

WASHINGTON: The Defense Department is conducting an extensive review of the videotaping of interrogations at military facilities from Iraq to Guantánamo Bay, and so far has identified nearly 50 tapes, including one that showed what a military spokesman described as the forcible gagging of a terrorism suspect.

The Pentagon review was begun in late January after the CIA acknowledged that it had destroyed its own videotapes of harsh interrogations conducted by agency officers, an action that is now the subject of criminal and congressional investigations.

The Pentagon review was intended in part to establish clearer rules for any videotaping of interrogations, defense officials said. But they acknowledged that it had been complicated by inconsistent taping practices in the past, as well as uncertain policies for when tapes could be destroyed or must be preserved.

The officials said it appeared that only a small fraction of the tens of thousands of interrogations worldwide since 2001 had been recorded.

If Feith had access to those tapes, so did the Neocons in OSP and so did Cheney/Rumsfeld who worked closely with them?

2. Feith is probably using them as his home movies

Popcorn, fireplace, torture videos

3. That was my thought

They're probably very sticky by now.

5. I had forgotten all about this POS until last night when some reviewer

was yacking on CSPAN about his finger pointing new book.

He had access to raw data -- it was his job to get his hands on it.

If he had it, so did Rumskull and Darth. :shrug:

6. I knew Douglas when he was in college at Harvard...

Many stories...all interesting/peculiar.

7. I think we all knew people like him. Most of them didn't end up

working directly under Rumsfeld -- which is why we're here to type.

9. Really? Would you be willing to share anything that wouldn't identify you?

I've never met Feith but he is polluting my neighborhood now.

8. I thought that Feith was a Neocon in OSP?

Feith worked very closely with them, anyway. And now that he's back at his job at Duke, he broght his good buddy Karl Rove to speak.

Also, I think that Sibyl Edmonds mentioned Doug Feith as one of the ringleaders?
