WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A criminal probe into the CIA’s destruction of videotapes showing harsh interrogations of terrorism suspects is almost finished, court papers made public this week show.Investigators expect to complete interviewing witnesses by the end of February, two months later than initially forecast, John Durham, an acting U.S. Attorney named to head the probe, wrote in a court filing.”Investigations such as this, involving the handling and review of highly sensitive and compartmented information, pose particular challenges which result in inevitable delays that are not encountered in typical criminal cases,” Durham said.He said “a considerable portion” of the investigators’ work had been completed, but several witnesses needed to be interviewed or reinterviewed.The probe was launched last January after revelations that the CIA in 2005 destroyed videos of the interrogations of terrorism suspects Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.The CIA later identified the men as two of the three suspects subjected to waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning widely condemned as torture that has damaged the U.S image abroad.

It is not known whether the tapes depicted waterboarding.The CIA has said it needed to destroy the tapes to guard against leaks that could endanger interrogators, but critics accused the agency of covering up illegal acts.Durham said “a number of obstacles” were responsible for the investigation’s delay carlo santana . These include getting top-security clearances for witnesses’ lawyers and finding support staff to handle the paperwork in secure facilities.Durham’s statement was filed to support a CIA request to delay until February 28 consideration of a lawsuit seeking release of documents related to the videotapes.The request was granted, said the Federation of American Scientists secrecy project, which posted Durham’s filing on its Web site.Many details of the investigation were blacked out in Durham’s statement — including the number of witnesses in the probe and the number of pages investigators have pored over.President-elect Barack Obama, who is expected to name former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta on Friday to head the CIA, said this week his intelligence team would break with practices “that have tarnished the image of the agencies.”(Editing by David Wiessler) juan santana . WASHINGTON, Jan kili santana . 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Trust for America’s Health(TFAH) welcomed the testimony of U.S black magic woman . Secretary-Designate of Health and HumanServices (HHS) Tom Daschle before the Senate Committee on Health, Education,Labor and Pensions today and supports his goal to prioritize prevention in thenew Administration.Daschle testified that the health care system must shiftfrom emphasizing a sick care system to a health care system, helping toprevent disease instead of treating people only after they have become sick. Daschle noted that “our health care system is not oriented toward prevention,and therefore, fails to incentivize the screenings and lifestyle changes thatcan do so much to improve health.Any health care reform plan must make sureevery American has preventative care that prevents disease and disability….

In addition to being sound medicine, [prevention] is sound fiscal policy.”"Daschle hit the nail on the head that prevention should be America’s firstline of defense against disease, instead of an afterthought,” said JeffreyLevi, PhD, Executive Director of TFAH.”Helping Americans become healthier isone of the most overlooked ways to drive down health care costs and ensure ourworkforce is competitive in the global economy.Now more than ever, we needprevention to be the cornerstone of health care reform, especially in thistime of economic crisis . We look forward to working with the ObamaAdministration to ensure this vision for a healthier America becomes areality.”Daschle stressed the importance of community-based disease prevention, andcited TFAH’s recent Prevention for a Healthier America study, which found thatfor every $1 spent on proven community-based disease prevention programs, thecountry could net a return of $5.60 in health care costs — a savings of morethan $16 billion annually within five years.These findings are based on aneconomic model developed by researchers at the Urban Institute and a review ofevidence-based studies conducted by the New York Academy of Medicine.Theyfound that many effective prevention programs cost less than $10 per personper year, and that these programs have delivered results in lowering rates ofdiseases that are related to physical activity, nutrition, and smoking.Theevidence shows that implementing these programs in communities reduces ratesof type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure by 5 percent within two years;reduces heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke by 5 percent within fiveyears; and reduces some forms of cancer, arthritis, and chronic obstructivepulmonary disease by 2.5 percent within 10 to 20 years.The report focused on disease prevention programs that do not require medicalcare and target communities or at-risk segments of communities.Examples ofthese programs include providing increased access to affordable nutritiousfoods, increasing sidewalks and parks in communities, and raising tobacco taxrates.Currently, two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, one infive Americans do not engage in any physical activity, and one in five adultAmericans smoke.TFAH’s Prevention for a Healthier America: Investments in Disease PreventionYield Significant Savings, Stronger Communities report can be found in full atTFAH’s website for America’s Health is a non-profit, non-partisan organizationdedicated to saving lives by protecting the health of every community andworking to make disease prevention a national priority.SOURCETrust for America’s HealthLiz Richardson of Trust for America’s Health, +1-202-223-9870, ext 21 sanatana . Just when you thought it was safe to turn the microphones off, Gilbert Arenas donned his Agent 0 persona, and the fireworks commenced.If youhaven’t heard, after the Washington Wizards latest blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Arenas decided that his vow to remain silent in the face of the media was declared null and void, and he proceeded to throw his teammates under the bus.When asked what his opinion was as to the problems of the Wizards, Arenas said that his teammates had a slate of “hidden agendas”, and that was causing turmoil in the locker room.In spite of the vague nature of the comment, it’s exactly the type of conspiratorial response expected from Agent 0, but it’s kind of disappointing coming out of the mouth of Arenas.With the return of Arenas the Wizards were predicted to challenge for a top tier spot in the Eastern Conference postseason, and it’s clear that the early expectations are weighing heavily on him.To lay the blame at the feet of your teammates however, might be the worse thing that you could do, considering the task is nothing that can be accomplished alone, and you are the one being re-acclimated, not your teammates.Coach Flip Saunders was installed during Arenas’ absence, and with him he brought an entirely new offensive scheme that the club has been accustomed to, but is brand new to Arenas.I feel that Arenas understands that there is going to be a period of adjustment to get comfortable in that scheme, but Agent 0 is for no such nonsense and feels that his team, not him, are the ones who must adjust.For instance, Agent 0 may be quick to dismiss the fact that he takes 20 shots per game, more than Kobe, more than LeBron, and more thanDwayne Wade, and he shoots for a much lower percentage than all three.Agent 0 would also say that his complete domination of the basketball is a need bore out ofnecessity while forgetting that the Wizards may be deeper than at any previous point of his tenure.Could the “hidden agenda” that Agent 0 speaks of be the fact that five of the current Wizards are in the final years of their contracts, and might be playing for a payday next season?Center Brendan Haywood seems to think so, but when asked if the vague comment was directed towards him, he declined to respond but did offer the insight that the Wizards’ problems are a matter of ego.If Haywood has an ego problem then it is hidden deep beneath the confines of his seven foot frame, because he may be one of the meekest players in the entire league.He masks his shortcomings by exerting supreme effort and that is seen in the double-double that he is currently averaging santana megaupload . So to picture Haywood with a hidden agenda is a stretch.The same can be said of the rest of Arenas’ teammates also, who more than willingly to defer to him even when they are in a better position to make a play.It’s telling that only Arenas or Agent 0 was comfortable deflecting blame to someone else, because with all the problems the Wizards have there is plenty of room for finger-pointing and most of the fingers point to 0.I tend to drift to what Haywood said when he called it a matter of ego, and I don’t think he was talking about Arenas either, after all Arenas was in ear-shot and could have responded to the remark, but chose not to.I think that Haywood’s remarks were directed to Arenas’ alter-ego, Agent 0, because Arenas has never been the type of player to shift blame to his teammates.He may be guilty of quirkiness, speaking in the third person, and making statements that only he can understand, but he has never been a turn-coat.So I am left to assume that Agent 0 has invaded Arenas’ body and rendered him totallyreckless and incompetent, because I refuse to believe that Arenas is all of a sudden that shallow.Some may think that my theory is really far out in left field, but when considering that it is Gilbert Arenas that I am speaking of it kind of makes anything possible, after all this is the guy that called himself a hibachi grill. .
