The Justice Department and the CIA's internal watchdog unit yesterday
began a joint preliminary inquiry into the spy agency's destruction of
hundreds of hours of videotapes showing interrogations of top
operatives of al-Qaeda.
Lawyers with the Center
for Constitutional Rights said they feared that the
CIA and other U.S. agencies also destroyed evidence in their client Majid Khan's
case, and they argued in a 24-page filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit that Khan was subjected to
systematic torture.
