“I think the intelligence committee needs to get all over this… . This raises a red flag that needs to be looked at.”

– Scott Horton, The Scapegoat (h/t skdadl @ Bread and Roses)
“We haven’t seen anything like this since the eighteen-and-a-half-minute gap in the tapes of President Richard Nixon.”
– Senator Edward Kennedy, from remarks made Friday on the Senate floor.
More from Larry Johnson, Larisa Alexandrovna, Marcy Wheeler, Robert Baer and Massimo Calabresi; Wheeler has also compiled a handy torture tape timeline (a tip o’ the tam once more to skdadl).
