A report by 9/11 Commission members and staffers have concluded that the CIA withheld interrogation tapes despite the commission’s specific requests about the information of two specific detainees. Chairmen Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean said that the CIA impeded the commission’s investigation after reading the report. The CIA defended its action by stating that the commission had access to tapes, and the agency did not destroy the tapes during the commission’s investigation. The CIA destroyed the tapes, because the agency believed that the tapes held no intelligence or inquiry value.
