Documents obtained by the Civil Liberties Union show that senior officials in the administration approved of techniques which the FBI determined to be unlawful. What angered the FBI agents assigned to Gitmo was the fact that the DoD personnel identified themselves to the detainees as FBI agents. The papers also show that the General Counsel of the Navy, Alberto Mora, tried unsuccessfully to stop the abuse of prisoners.
The documents show that officials high in the Bush administration, including the Deputy Secretary of Defense, approved of these methods, in spite of the efforts of FBI and US Navy personnel to put a stop to them because they had determined them to violate both American and International law.
