Mr Nadler asked him whether he would bear some responsibility if the CIA interrogation program, which included simulation of drowning called waterboarding, was found by a court to be illegal.

Addington: "No, I wouldn't be responsible."

Small problem for Addington: Nuremberg precedents, and Addington's visit to Guantnanamo with the CIA General Counsel in 2002.

The SASC25 data show Addington attended a meeting, knew about the dual-track interrogations, but asked no questions. Clearly, Addington was well aware of what was going on, but failed to ensure Geneva was fully applied to the United States as a detaining power, regardless the status of the prisoners.

The two tracks were an intelligence gathering track, where prisoners, tainted by coercive interrogations, would not be brought to trial; and a second track where prisoners, not abused, would be tried. See 35-6 of 63

33 of 63 Shows a legal analyis summary referring to a White House staff study, clearly showing Geneva was reviewed, but (illegally) rejected as a legal constraint on the United States as a detaining power.

Addington's problem with respect to the CIA interrogations and tape destruction was that at 32 of 63 the government expressly discussed foreseeable litigation, known subpoenas, and the attached requirement to retain data.

Addingto's problem with respect to the CIA tape destruction is simple: 12 of 63 shows Addington traveled to Guantanamo, but asked no question because he was well aware of what was going on. CIA Acting GC Rizzo was there as well, meaning Addington and Rizzo had the opportuntiy to review the foreeable risk of litigation, and develop a tape-retention plan.

Yet, the CIA would have us believe nobody imagined there would be a need to retain the data.

Addington's problem is the Nuremberg Justice trial: Lawyers, who failed to ensure the laws of war were fully enforced, were adjudicated with war crimes.

Addington is a former CIA General Counsel, and would have known what was going on inside the CIA. If he didn't he should have discussed this with Rizzo. Either way, he has a very big problem.
