Things Heating Up for CIA Officials

Something is going to go down soon with regard to the destroyed torture tapes. People don’t get granted immunity for no reason. It doesn’t look too likely that Porter Goss is going to go down for it, but it’s not out of the question. However, this may be a reprise of the Plame case where the prosecutor finds it too difficult to prosecute the underlying crime and instead opts to nail people for perjury. And I have no way of telling who lied to the prosecutor or the FBI and whether they might get caught for those lies.

It would be nice, however, to see someone very high up get a taste of prison life for their involvement in torture. That would be the least we should expect.
