Pentagon denies Wolfowitz approved Guantanamo interrogation tactics

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Pentagon denied that former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz approved interrogation techniques used on war-on-terror detainees as claimed in a recently released
FBI email.

"To make any suggestion that Paul Wolfowitz was involved in approving individual interrogation plans is simply wrong," said Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman.

Reference was made to Wolfowitz in an exchange of email between FBI officials in May, 2004 over agents' concerns about aggressive interrogation tactics used by military interrogators on detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In one email, an FBI official whose name was blacked out suggested talking to the bureau's Behavioral Assessment Unit about what he indicated were two specific examples of abuse.
