The administration has a real problem with evidence.
It "found" lots and lots and lots of "evidence" for things that simply Did Not Exist.
Now it "loses" evidence which was likely to be highly, highly embarrassing to it.
Hmm. Is there a pattern here?
Liars. Liars.
This is all so staggeringly implausible, it's hard to imagine that these folks aren't laughing at each other as they pass in the halls.

This has been known for a while, but it's such an outrage that it bears repeating: the government claims that it is unable to locate one of the videos of Padilla's interrogation. It has "disappeared". Greenwald is on it: Associated Press now furthers the story by reporting that Bush lawyers seem to have committed themselves to the position that the video will not be found: "'I don't know what happened to it,' Pentagon attorney James Schmidli said during a recent court hearing." Judge Cooke is reacting exactly how she should -- with utter disbelief in the veracity of this claim: U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke was incredulous that anything connected to such a high-profile defendant could be lost. "Do you understand how it might be difficult for me to understand that a tape related to this particular individual just got mislaid?" Cooke told prosecutors at a hearing last month. It is difficult to put into words how extraordinary this is.
Impeach this administration now. There are too many of these kinds of things going on. It disgusts me. I once again hawk the loogie of disrespect upon this administration. (The loogie of disrespect was first hawked upon McCain and Lieberman for supporting the escalation.)
