A furor over the destruction of tapes depicting CIA agents engaging in torture I think points towards the way that media shapes its own legal and social discourses. Why would anyone believe that tapes SHOULD be released (or even would be made?), without the rhetoric of visual media? I think the idea that destruction of the tapes obstructed justice begs the question of whether justice as we know it is intrinsically linked to the tapes themselves. How would prosecution of the particular crime proceeded without the idea of taping interrogation?
