Government "loses" Padilla evidence

As Glenn Greenwald points out rather effectively, the government's "loss" of a critical video of Jose Padilla's interrogation torture is impossible to believe, particularly in light of the extreme claims of national security they have made about the case. As Greenwald says:

But where, as here, the issues extend far beyond the singular proceeding itself -- we are talking about claims by a U.S. citizen that he was tortured by his own government -- destruction of evidence of this sort would be obstruction of justice of the most serious magnitude. This merits much, much more attention.
