If the NASA says "we no longer have the tapes" and the tapes are found outside of NASA property, then NASA speaks the truth.
If the NASA says "we no longer have the tapes" and the tapes are found on NASA property, then NASA is misleading us or lying to us.
The main issue is not whether they lost or found the tapes. The issues are: what did they say about it? Did they cooperate? Or did they ignore/hinder/block/deny/refuse/lie?
Did they quit searching even though they knew the tapes are probably in their archives somewhere? Did they ask for help in searching their archives? Did they allow outsiders to search their archives to confirm the tapes are not there?
Imagine if you ask me to turn over the murder weapon, and I say "I no longer have it". Some time later, I say "I found the murder weapon. It was in my possession the whole time. Sorry".
What if Nixon had said "the tapes are missing". And later changed his statement to "we found the tapes". Would you assume that Nixon was telling the truth? Dont' you think it should be illegal to delay or fail to hand over evidence by not thoroughly searching for it?
BBC has not been ordered by any judge or gov agent to hand over tapes, so they have not broken any laws. But still, I think what BP did was immoral.
