The NYT reports that top lawyers in the Bush Administration were directly involved in discussions with the CIA about whether to destroy those now infamous interrogation tapes. Alberto Gonzales, at the time White House counsel; David Addington, then counsel to Vice President Cheney and now his chief of staff; John Bellinger III, then a senior lawyer at the National Security Council; and Harriet Miers who succeeded Gonzales as White House counsel, took part in the discussions between 2003 and 2005, according to current and former administration and intelligence officials.
