WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI on Tuesday released documents showing at least 26 FBI employees witnessed aggressive mistreatment and harsh interrogation techniques of prisoners by other government agencies or outside contractors at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. "On several occasions witnesses saw detainees in interrogation rooms chained hand and foot in fetal position to floor with no chair/food/water; most urinated or defecated on selves and were left there 18, 24 hours or more," according to one FBI account made public. One FBI witness saw a detainee "shaking with cold," while another noted a detainee in a sweltering unventilated room was "almost unconscious on a floor with a pile of hair next to him (he had apparently been pulling it out through the night)." Another witness saw a detainee "with a full beard whose head was wrapped in duct tape." One FBI statement said that an interrogator squatted over the Quran and that a German shepherd dog was ordered to "growl, bark and show his teeth to the prisoner." Another detainee was draped in an Israeli flag. The FBI surveyed all 493 FBI personnel who had been assigned to the military prison facility in the aftermath of 9/11 and determined no FBI agent or support personnel had participated in any of the controversial practices... snip... The FBI Office of General Counsel in September 2004 ordered the "special inquiry" into any FBI participation or observations of a series of alleged incidents at the prison camp for suspected terrorists and al Qaeda sympathizers, but the results were not made public. The FBI released the documents in response to an ACLU Freedom of Information request but stressed that most of the findings had already been disclosed.

Finally some good news.
Thats what I was thinking.
Doesn't sound like "mis-treatment" to me. I guess the G-Men of old are long gone.
let me guess - these agents all started their careers during the clinton administration.
get the FBI the hell out of Gitmo - US military and CIA only.
Oh the humanity!!!
I'm sorry, but that's just plain funny!
CNN...enhancing Pelosi's "wide-on" she'll begin sporting day after tomorrow; solidifying their base.
Sounds like my office on a rough day.
The ACLU has always been committed to destroying this republic. How many more Americans will have to die, not just because of their actions, but because many more people continue to see them as being virtuous?
Alas, I fear none of this is true :-(
Glad someone is on the job, unlike the FBI. Don't they have some missing files to look for or something?
Here's something the media will happily overlook.

FBI: Workers saw prisoners abuse themselves at Guantanamo
There, that is more accurate.
Did they put women's underwear on their heads?
Sounds like the FBI and the CIA are still feuding. Some things never change. Even after 9-11. Power struggles are going to be the downfall of this country.
If his head was wrapped in duct tape how did they know he had a full beard?
Excuse me FBI, at least he still had his head, most prisoners of the muslims getted theirs chopped off with a machete.
