” A federal judge refused on Wednesday to delve into the destruction of CIA interrogation videos, saying there was no evidence the Bush administration violated a court order and the Justice Department deserved time to conduct its own investigation.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy was a victory for the Bush administration, which had urged the courts not to wade into a politically-charged issue already being investigated by the Justice Department, CIA and Congress.

The CIA has acknowledged that in 2005 it destroyed videos of officers using tough interrogation methods while questioning two al-Qaida suspects.”

A rather surprising, but good decision. Let the investigation into the non-story continue.
