Mukasey’s irresponsible handling of CIA evidence

When the story broke yesterday on destroying the CIA interrogation videotapes, why did Attorney General Michael Mukasey not issue an immediate preservation order, mandating that all federal government employees not destroy any evidence?

The administration has had two full days and now the entire weekend to rip, tear, and destroy to their heart’s content.

Update: The Justice Department and the CIA’s Inspector General announced Saturday that they had launched a joint preliminary investigation into the CIA’s destruction of the interrogation videotapes, but to my knowledge, Mukasey has yet to issue a preservation order.
