It's not my word that says the CIA looked into it and decided the tapes weren't relevant.
The point is it was only the CIA who decided the tapes weren't relevant, when they stood accused of torture.
Destroying evidence use to be a serious issue.
That's not how it works. The injunction on them was relevant to Gitmo. Any other tapes that they had, when they were no longer useful and served only to risk the identity of CIA assets, were destroyed...per SOP for all other classified data. For all intelligence services. Everywhere.

Once again, you see malice of forethought where the is none...simply because it's existence would be convenient to your preconceived notions.

Bottom line is they had no reason to take positive action to pull the tapes out of storage and destroy them.
Were they short of blank VHS tapes or something?

SOP=Standard Operating Procedure. That, in and of itself, is a "reason to take positive action".

It's not relevant to anything, I'm just posting the first thing that comes to my mind sometimes here.

The Central intelligence Agency (CIA) has destroyed 92 tapes of interviews conducted with terror suspects, a US government lawyer has admitted.

The agency had previously said that it had destroyed only two tapes.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has launched a lawsuit against the CIA to seek details of the interrogations of terror suspects.

Techniques involved are understood to have included water-boarding, which the Obama administration says is torture.
