American whistle blower and Russian resident Edward Snowden, doesn't believe the CIA when it claims it “accidentally,” destroyed a 6,700 page torture report, claiming that it never does anything like that without proper consideration. “When the CIA destroys something, it's never a mistake,” he said.
The CIA was recently quoted in the press saying that it had mistakenly destroyed a 6,700 page document that was intended to inform the senate on interrogation, though many people termed it a ‘torture report.' The digital file was first deleted by accident we were told and then later the original disk containing the report was also inadvertently destroyed.
Snowden doesn't see it that way though. In-fact he was happy to allude that the CIA would deliberately destroy such a report. He would know too, since he claims to have written the Emergency Destructive Plan.
I worked @CIA. I wrote the Emergency Destruction Plan for Geneva. When CIA destroys something, it's never a mistake. https://t.co/S1VULfE4NY

Although its location is unknown, it is said that another copy of the report exists, though whether that will be ‘accidentally' destroyed too is anyone's guess. It is said to contain details on controversial U.S. torture practices like waterboarding and sleep deprivation.
Even if it does exist and survives though, the public are unlikely ever to see it. A U.S. court of appeals recently ruled it as not subject to the Freedom of Information act (as per Independent).
Snowden in the mean time remains in Russia, where he sought asylum after fleeing the U.S., initially to China, in order to blow the whistle on NSA mass surveillance. He has since continued to disparage governments that breach privacy law and has called for a reduction in government's and intelligence agencies spying on their own citizens.

KitGuru Says: It seems obvious what's happened here. All I can imagine is the shredding scene from Devil's Advocate. Nothing to see here, move along.
It’s kind of depressing that the US government can be so sure that no one cares enough about torturing people to flip out over them making up such a pathetic narrative.
“Oh… woops… would you like at that, all of the incriminating evidence got shredded, our bad…”
Next up will be for any new whistle-blowers to also be “accidentally destroyed” before they can make trouble. Accidents happen.

why would they kill them, snowden’s opinion became worthless the moment he went to russia. anyone can nitpick all they want, but the corruption in the russian government is 100 times worse. it’s quite likely that every statement he makes now is prompted with a gun pointed at him.
Doesn’t really make the US or it’s policies any less abhorrent by pointing to a worse country. Regardless of Snowden’s credibility now or before, he embarrassed the government a lot and started a conversation worldwide about intrusive monitoring. Rather than risk another fiasco, I can quite easily see potential whistleblowers being hushed.
points to snowden’s lack of credibility, that he’d run to a country where they actively kill off whistleblowers in the streets. worse that would have happened in this country would have been his imprisonment, in russia they dose you with polonium or shoot you behind a snow plow.
Russia wasn’t exactly his first choice, and that’s what they do with their own dissidents/defectors rather than foreign ones that they can rub in the other country’s face.
Imprisonment for life in a maximum security US prison doesn’t sound especially fun either. Fleeing elsewhere and getting stuck in Russia, due to blocked flights and passports, as a trophy doesn’t sound quite so bad in comparison.
