US Taped Terrorist Interviews? Good for Us!

A story this morning in the WaPost lays out the case that we may have "secretly" recorded interviews between Guantanamo enemy combatants and their representatives of their presumed governments. Putting aside for a second the question of how taping can be secret when the governments signed release agreements specifying that the sessions might be taped, I find myself perplexed at the possibility that anyone would be perplexed at the possibility that we were taping these interviews. We would have been guilty of dereliction of duty had we not been taping and analyzing these interviews for intelligence.
