FBI warned of aggressive interrogations at Guantanamo in 2002
A July 2004 letter from FBI counterterrorism chief Thomas Harrington alleges highly aggressive interrogations and mistreatment of detainees at Guantanamo starting in 2002. Incidents included a female interrogator grabbing a detainee, duct tape gagging, and a guard dog used for intimidation. The letter says complaints to Defense Department attorneys in 2003 were ignored and calls for action. Brig. Gen. Hood said investigations are ongoing and actions were taken where appropriate.
