The long-awaited FBI report on Detainee Interrogations has been released, and can be found here (.pdf). The NY Times provides a summary:
The report describes major and repeated clashes between F.B.I. agents and their counterparts over the rough methods being used on detainees in Guantánamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq — some of which, according to the inspector general, may have violated the Defense Department’s own policies at the time.
It also provides new insight into the intense debates at senior levels of the Justice Department, the Defense Department and the National Security Council over what should and should not be allowed — a debate in which the Defense Department prevailed.
The inspector general found that in a few instances, F.B.I. agents participated in interrogations using pressure tactics that would not have been permitted inside the United States. But the “vast majority” of agents followed the bureau’s legal guidelines and “separated themselves” from harsh treatment.
I have not read the report yet, so I can not verify the accuracy of the NY Times summation. More later on as I get a chance to read it, and I am sure Jack Balkin, Greenwald and others (hopefully Lithwick will discuss it) will have some analysis.
