FBI agents who interviewed detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq did not witness any abuse or take part in any mistreatment, FBI Director Robert Mueller said Thursday.
Mueller said FBI rules prohibit agents from taking part in interrogations involving force, the threat of force or coercion and they are obligated to report any such incidents they see.
"In the cases where we have been handling interviews, particularly over in Iraq, it has been done according to our standards and there has been no waiver of that," Mueller said in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Although no agents witnessed abuse in Iraq, Mueller said that "upon occasion" agents have raised objections about the way certain interrogations overseas are handled.
