The CIA has admitted videotaping interrogations of terrorism suspects which included techniques which many suspect amount to torture.
The CIA say they later destroyed the tapes to stop them falling into the wrong hands. Civil liberties campaigners say the CIA had initially denied the existence of the tapes and say that if they have been destroyed it is to protect CIA operatives from prosecution for using techniques such as water boarding or simulated drowning.
