It's also a pretty stupid fallacy. It's like saying: "I don't want to watch Joe Scarborough. Therefore it makes sense to ban him from television."Whether Joe wants to watch those hypothetical tapes or not is *entirely irrelevant* as to whether the tapes *ought to be destroyed*.
About 80% of the way through there's a good line:But if it's so measured then why are we afraid to release the tapes? Why did somebody feel it was necessary to destroy these tapes? Obviously they felt that there was something problematic with it. If it's in such a controlled environment, if it's so successful, if it's something we can all be proud of, let's show the tapes. Let's show the American people, here's what we're doing."And then Scarborough brings up a BS fallacy about Dresden which would only be remotely logical if the waterboarding was equally moral as the Dresden bombing, which I doubt he thinks, etc.

"And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for your pesky liberals!"
