An F.B.I. official whose name was edited from a memorandum dated May 10 wrote that a sharp exchange of views occurred at a meeting with Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, then the commander of the detention facility at Guantánamo, and Maj. Gen. Michael B. Dunleavey, who was in charge of the intelligence operation there.

"Both sides agreed that the bureau has its way of doing things and the D.O.D. has their marching orders from SecDef," using abbreviations for the Department of Defense and the secretary of defense. "Although the two techniques differed drastically, both generals believed they had a job to do."

The agent wrote in the memorandum to his superior that the information obtained by the military in certain cases was no different from what the bureau obtained "using simple investigative techniques."

Numerous news organizations are reporting, as of this update at 7:18pm, that people who saw said abuse were threatened and told to keep quiet. Nice one, George. Things are getting more Owellian by the day. Anyone else notice that?
