Something Here May Or May Not Be Kosher
Witness testifies he took, deleted video of the Fort Hood shooting
"Fort Hood, Texas (CNN) -- The shooting at Fort Hood was captured on video by a soldier using his cell phone camera as he hid from the shooter, but he was ordered to erase it, the soldier said Friday.
Pfc. Lance Aviles spoke of the video as he testified on the third day of the Article 32 military hearing for Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in the November 2009 shooting.
Aviles said he was told by a non-commissioned officer, who Aviles said was acting on the orders of an officer, to delete the video on the same day of the shooting. He did not describe to the court what the video contained.
It was not immediately clear whether the military would look into why the video was ordered deleted."
When this happened my bullshit antenna quivered most energetically. Rather than looking at "soldier told to erase video" as the army trying to cover something up, I look at this as disinfo instead to solidify in peoples' minds the fact that Hasan did what the cover story says he did.
After all, if Drudge reports that Hasan shouted Alahu Akbar as he shot our brave warriors than by Murdoch of course he did.
From Michael Rivero at WRH:
"The story I got from an anonymous insider is that there were four soldiers who thought they were headed home, but had been told they were being sent back to Iraq yet again. These guys lost it, started shooting, and were killed by guards. But the military and the US Government did not want word of an actual armed mutiny in the ranks to get out, aware that it might trigger a cascade of similar incidents among a rank and file clearly pushed to the breaking point. So, the Muslim guy got blamed for it, and as this story confirms, the actual evidence of that happened was ordered destroyed."

If I were the judge hearing this case I would charge whoever ordered the video deletion with "obstruction of justice". I would suspend the trial until this act was sorted out. If it could not be sorted out I would dismiss the case against the accused and allow him to go free.
That would certainly put the heat on the authorities to produce the evidence in these kinds of cases. Remember all the taped evidence re 9/11 that was destroyed?
- Videotapes from security cameras at the Pentagon
- Air traffic controllers taped their debriefing after 9/11 and someone reportedly cut up the tape and spread it around in different trash cans
- Black boxes from 4 jet planes never recovered and/or never made public
- audio tape of explosions in buildings deleted from the videos at certain critical moments in their demolition
This kind of tampering with forensic evidence is a crime within a crime yet no one is brought to justice.
It is up to the legal system, including and particularly judges, to put a final stop to it or they will end up becoming laughing stocks along with the entire US justice system (which already happened after the OJ Simpson fiasco).

These high profile incidents are so diced, spliced, manipulated and corrupted it's getting really hard to make sense of them. Hardly anything is what it seems.
