Dozens of FBI agents testified to having witnessed "aggressive
mistreatment, interrogations or interview techniques" at Guantanamo.

The
House Judiciary Committee no longer under control of the Bush
administration, invoking the Freedom of Information Act forced the
Department of Justice to declassify and publish a small sample of the
accounts by 26 FBI agents who witnessed American prison guards and
military contractors torturing terror suspects.

"Aggressive
mistreatment" is a perverse and misleading understatement.  None of the
introductory remarks prepare readers for the accounts of debased and
monstrous torture that follow.    Those that chose to read them must be
strongly warned of the disturbing and perverted practices described
there.  The accounts can be read directly from the Department of
Justice's website at http://foia.fbi.gov/guantanamo/122106.htm

Many
observations regarding the so-called "techniques" were followed by
remarks such as: "consistent with Department of Defense policy",
"within Department of Defense (DoD) guidelines", some added "not
(consistent) with FBI", "not nice but not abusive", "told Secretary
(Rumsfeld) approved this technique."

Besides these horrific accounts
of inhumane and outright sick practices, on March 31, 2008 under
authority of an Executive Order the U.S. Department of Justice
unclassified its March 14, 2003 Memo in reference to "Military
Interrogation of Alien Unlawful Combatants Held Outside the United
States."   This Memo is a disgustingly boldfaced justification of
horrid crimes in the name of "self-defense".

This 81-page Memo
prepared by an underling apprentice of ex U.S. Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales, Mr. John C. Yoo bluntly concludes that the Constitution,
Federal Laws, principles of Criminal Law, and international law
including international human rights "do not apply to military
interrogation of alien unlawful combatants held abroad."

Carried
away by its zeal in justifying torture the ominous Memo concludes:
"even if criminal prohibitions outlined above applied, and an
interrogation method might violate those prohibitions, necessity or
self-defense could provide justifications for any criminal liability."

One
is left to wonder just how rotten those legal minds are and how rotten
the minds and souls of those men and women carrying out such
monstrously debased practices.
