The military's story is that the tapes were recorded over every three days, and hence, no longer exist.

Man, see what happens when you don't play by the rules and try to make things up as you go along. Pretty soon, one mouth doesn't know what the other mouth is saying and, whoops, we've got some high level political appointee going, "oh did someone mention this, they weren't suppose to" and now everyone in the Unitary Executive winds up with egg on their face. That's why there are things called laws and those charged with enforcing those laws are suppose to follow them.

This revelation is going to make a few federal court judges unhappy. Wonder what might happen . . .

Here is an article which refers to "surveillance tapes" at Guantanamo being overwritten.

The Seton Hall study authors are quoted there about the missing interrogation videotapes.

And there is this:

Military officials familiar with interrogations at the prison of a group of 14 high-value detainees over the past 16 months -- including five of the six charged with criminal conspiracy on Monday -- said those sessions were monitored through video cameras but not recorded. But they declined to comment on any taping of hundreds of others at the prison.
