So the FBI themselves acknowledge that these guys were breaking the law! And THEY WERE THERE---So there's no disputing whether they are just making things up or "exagerating"...Their agents were actually speaking up about it and voicing concerns, and they were IGNORED by the administration!

Sickening.

"But they did not recall that any changes were made at (Guantanamo) as a result," Fine said.

Although the FBI's concerns about harsh interrogations were previously known, Fine's report provides the most detailed narrative yet of how the bureau, the Justice Department, the CIA and the Pentagon did little to address them and in some instances appear to have disregarded the warnings.

Well, not really ignored.. Bush ran right out and had the law changed to give them retro-active immunity for torturing people if I remember.

Woohoo! Way to go!
