I guess they've had so much practice at impeding investigations,
including into their efforts in the drug business in Asia and South
America, that this is no surprise.

9/11 Panel Study Finds That C.I.A. Withheld Tapes
By MARK MAZZETTI
Published: December 22, 2007
WASHINGTON -- A review of classified documents by former members of the
Sept. 11 commission shows that the panel made repeated and detailed
requests to the Central Intelligence Agency in 2003 and 2004 for
documents and other information about the interrogation of operatives
of Al Qaeda, and were told by a top C.I.A. official that the agency
had "produced or made available for review" everything that had been
requested.
The review was conducted earlier this month after the disclosure that
in November 2005, the C.I.A. destroyed videotapes documenting the
interrogations of two Qaeda operatives.
A seven-page memorandum prepared by Philip D. Zelikow, the panel's
former executive director, concluded that "further investigation is
needed" to determine whether the C.I.A.'s withholding of the tapes
from the commission violated federal law.
