Dept of Justice review of Detainee Interrogations   May 20, 2008 2:02 PM


This month the Department of Justice issued a report on the FBI involvement in the interrogation of Detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, in Afghanistan and Iraq. A copy (redacted) of the 438 page report is available on the DOJ website. The summary of conclusions of the report states: "Our report found that after FBI agents in GTMO and other military zones were confronted with interrogators from other agencies who used more aggressive interrogation techniques than the techniques that the FBI had successfully employed for many years, the FBI decided that it would not participate in joint interrogations of detainees with other agencies in which techniques not allowed by the FBI were used."

The report notes "allegations related to misconduct" at an location, the name of which is redacted. The alleged reports of misconduct are related to interrogation involving the FBI and also other U.S. government entities and the military. The report does not purport to speak to the accuracy of the alleged misconduct but at some point recommends the military conduct their own investigations of the allegations.
