I hope someone leaks the "destroyed" torture tapes to wikileaks (similar to the plot in the new Barry Eisler book Inside Out). Hmmmmm...maybe the government thinks that they already did and that's why they're so freaked out. The government wants to read all of our secrets but they go crazy when their secrets are revealed.

If you haven't read the Eisler book...here is a link

"Inside Out achieves what only the best works of fiction can: it imparts profoundly insightful commentary on the most pressing political controversies of the day within a riveting dramatic plot. Eisler's unique talent is weaving together exciting story-telling with provocative headline-based truths, and he reaches all new heights with his latest novel."
—Glenn Greenwald, Salon, author of Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics

"Inside Out takes us on a tour of the darkest crevices of the new National Security State. It's a brilliant work of fiction—but is it really so fictional? Eisler's plot lines move dangerously close to real life; they are animated by a reality behind the headlines."
—Scott Horton, Contributing Editor, Harper's Magazine

"Inside Out is a modern Heart of Darkness, with Special Ops veteran Ben Treven taking a rip-roaring ride through jungle shoot-outs and up a sinister Potomoc into a world of assassination and torture, made more frightening because it's all too real. The book combines exciting entertainment with an almost encyclopedic summary of the torture scandal of the past decade, including a sly nod to the growing impact of the blogosphere. If you want to know where policies of war, torture, and assassination have taken this country, read this book."
