The CIA says that they destroyed those twoMR SUBLIMINAL As if there were only two tapes of tough interrogationMR SUBLIMINAL torture sessions because the tapes would have revealed the identities of the interrogators.
Look, not that I have any personal experience of this, but I understand that out on the Intertubes there are terabytes of Japanese pr0n with all the dangly bits carefully blurred out.
So why couldn't the CIA have censored the tapes?
Why did they have toMR SUBLIMINAL say they destroy-ed them? Were the CIA agentsMR SUBLIMINAL Or Blackwater Contractors wearing name tags? Giant magic decoder rings?

Sublime conjecture
"Why did they have to [say that they] destroy[ed] them?"
I think Mr. Subliminal understands. The strategy for refusing to produce the tapes (copied, censored, or not) is to insist that all two of them have been destroyed.
Chanelling Mr Subliminal
Thanks for listening harder than I did, AC...

Obvious Answer to Censoring
Because that would mean that there was a version that could be brought into the terrorism trials and shown to the jury for them to understand what 'enhanced interrogation' means; that would kill the 'guilty' verdicts the Bush admin desires to justify the PATRIOT Act, FISA, etc.
Also, a censored version is made from an uncensored version, which Congress could demand.
Well, I was taking them at their word, William
