White House gets New York Times to change headline of story on videotape destruction
In an unusual development, the Bush administration has obtained a correction from the New York Times to an article published yesterday about the CIA’s destruction of videotapes of Al-Qaeda suspects being interrogated at Guantanamo and secret detention centres. The tapes reportedly showed interrogators using methods widely regarded as torture. The CIA itself announced in early October that they had been destroyed to protect its operatives. Sub-headed ‘White House role was wider than it said,’ the New York Times story reported that four White House legal advisers discussed the advisability of the tapes’ destruction with the CIA in 2003 and 2005. The newspaper said it changed the sub-head at the White House’s request but not the story’s content. (Reporters Without Borders)
