Quote from Preston Forbes:

This one has been around for years
www.killdisk.com

But if you want to really protect your data also encrypt it with
either PGP Office the commercial product or the free open source offering from TrueCrypt.org.

Thanks I have used KD before, no GUI but gets the job done. The good thing about open source is that they are less likely to have back door in them for Big Brother which I know many commercials ones do.

Quote from dandxg:

Why did they just completely destroy the HD's? Set them on fire, drill them and soak em' in bleach or acid. They had to know something might happen.

Any military grade program to pattern write O & 1's on the HD will do just fine.
Fire, drilling and soaking them in bleach or acid is all but futile.
