An email regarding allegations of misconduct against two FBI agents. During an interview with one of the agents, they stated that there were, "inhumane conditions at the Baghdad detention facility... Although I only personally observed this abuse (sleep/food/water...deprivation) occurring at Fallujah, [redacted] told me the same was going on at the Baghdad detention facility." The IIS of the FBI turned over all e-mail and documents remotely concerning detainee abuse to the DOJ.
