WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. law enforcement agents at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison for terrorism suspects concluded that the military's aggressive questioning yielded information that was "suspect at best," according to newly released portions of an FBI document.
That conclusion is contained in an internal FBI e-mail message, dated May 10, 2004, that also said the FBI had made it known to Pentagon officials in 2002 that the FBI "has been successful for many years obtaining confessions via non-confrontational interviewing techniques."
The document was released Monday by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. Portions that had previously been blacked out were released to Levin after he and Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., asked the Justice Department to reconsider.
Substantial portions of the document remain blacked out, even in the newly released version.
