Document: Intel Agents Who Saw Detainee Abuse Were Threatened
A memo from the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency reveals that two DIA agents who witnessed abuse of detainees in Iraq were threatened by the interrogators. It was released as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the ACLU, which sums up the document:
* A June 25, 2004 memo from Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, Defense Intelligence Agency chief, entitled "alleged detainee abuse by TF 62-6," describing how DIA personnel who complained about abuses were threatened, had their car keys confiscated and e-mails monitored, and were ordered "not to talk to anyone in the U.S." or leave the base "even to get a haircut."
* The June 25 memo also describes how the task force’s officers punched a prisoner in the face "to the point he needed medical attention," failed to record the medical treatment, and confiscated DIA photos of the injuries.
