Record Description
E-mail from REDACTED to Gary Bald, Frankie Battle, Arthur Cummings Re:
FWD: Impersonating FBI at GTMO 12/05/03 12/15/04 FBI [Criminal Justice
Information Services CJIS] Of concern, DOD interrogators impersonating
Supervisory Special Agents of the FBI told a detainee that REDACTED. These
same interrogation teams then REDACTED. The detainee was also told by this
interrogation team REDACTED. These tactics have produced no intelligence
of a threat neutralization nature to date and CITF believes that
techniques have destroyed any chance of prosecuting this detainee. If this
detainee is ever released or his story made public in any way, DOD
interrogators will not be held accountable because these torture
techniques were done the FBI interrogators. The FBI will be left holding
the bag before the public.
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED Re GTMO Gazette 08/28/02 12/15/04 FBI
[Criminal Justice Informa- tion Ser vices CJIS] We met with the medical
staff re the detainees and the interview process. They gave us an insight
into the outpatient clinic and the fleet hospital. They were very
agreeable to working directly with the interviewers and the MPs on getting
treatment to the detainees.
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED, Re Legal Issues re:Guantanamo Bay
12/09/02 12/15/04 FBI [Criminal Justice Inform- ation Services CJIS]
Attached are some documents that may be of interest to Spike Bowman who I
understand is reviewing legal aspects of interviews here in GTMO. They
were provided to me by one of the JAG lawyers working at CITF. One of
these is a review of interrogation methods by a DOD lawyer. Basically, it
appears that the lawyer worked hard to write a legal justification for the
type of interviews they (the Army) want to conduct here.
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED Re FWD: GTMO 05/13/04 12/15/04 FBI
[Criminal Justice Inform- ation Services CJIS] After we got off the phone,
I found the attached E-mail which we sent to General Miller last year.
Also, there is a copy of the militarys use of approved coercive techniques
which are quite different I am sure from the Bureau guidelines you are
preparing.
Document entitled Detainee Interviews (Abusive Interrogation Issues).
05/06/04 12/15/04 FBI [Referrals from DOJ, Criminal Division] In late 2002
and continuing into mid-2003, the Behavioral Analysis Unit raised concerns
over interrogation tactics being employed by the U.S. military. As a
result an EC dated 5/30/03, was generated summarizing the FBIs continued
objections to the use of REDACTED techniques to interrogate prisoners.
This EC is attached and includes a collection of military documents
discussing and authorizing the techniques. We are not aware of the FBI
participating directly in any REDACTED interrogations.
Memo from Washington Field CR-2 to Criminal Investigative Field 07/28/04
12/15/04 FBI [Referrals from DOJ, Criminal Division] On 07/27/2004, SAs
from WFO met with members of U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Division
regarding the alleged rape of juvenile male detainee at Abu Ghraib prison.
E-mails, including one from Alex J. Turner to REDACTED re Your Request
07/22/04 12/15/04 FBI [Referrals from DOJ, Criminal Division] Be advised,
we have already experienced what I would describe as an unfavorable
contact with the EDVA regarding WFOs failure to more aggressively address
pending allegations. Specifically, AUSA Rod Spencer, USAO-EDVA, has
already berated an agent and I literally have a message on my desk to call
him regarding these cases. . . .[T]here will soon come a time when WFO
will no longer be able to hold the EDVA off on these matters before DOJ
starts calling you. It would be of great benefit if HQ could run a little
interference with DOJ. Less pressure on the EDVA would equate to less
pressure on WFO.
Report of detainee interview 07/02/03 12/15/04 FBI [Referrals from DOJ,
Criminal Division] REDACTED complained about treatment he has received for
his leg injuries. He does not feel the Americans are giving him proper
treatment for his injuries. Memo to Inspection from CIRG re interrogation
techniques at GTMO 07/13/04 12/15/04 FBI [CTD/ MLDU] On several occasions,
I did hear loud music being played and people yelling loudly from behind
closed doors of interview rooms but I could not say that detainees were
present in those rooms. I also observed strobe lights in interview rooms
on several occasions but never observed these being used on detainees.
Document entitled GTMO Issues for SAC Wiley Undated 12/15/04 FBI [CTD/
MLDU] BAU personnel witnessed sleep deprivation, REDACTED and utilization
of loud music/bright lights/growling dogs in the Detainee interview
process by DOD representatives.
Memo from Counter terrorism to Counterterrorism Undated 12/15/04 FBI/
[CTD/ MLDU] DIA has never advised the FBI that they were impersonating an
FBI agent as part of their interrogation plan with REDACTED.
E-mails, from REDACTED to REDACTED, Re Imperson ating FBI 01/20/04
12/15/04 FBI [CTD/ MLDU] We had a meeting with TJ Harrington today and he
inquired about the outcome of your meeting with DOD (General Miller)
regarding REDACTED interrogations in June 2003 where an FBI agent was
impersonated. Was that ever resolved? Is there any paper on your meeting
we can provide to TJ?
Email from REDACTED to REDACTED, Re: Impersonating FBI. 01/21/04 12/15/04
FBI [CTD/ MLDU] Regarding the impersonation,' I'm still not sure what our
issue is here. It's fairly clear to me that the FBI Agent wasn't
successful in gaining the detainees cooperation. Thereafter, (months
later) REDACTED carried the day with his ruse regarding REDACTED. Once
again, this technique, and all of those used in these scenarios, was
approved by the Dep Sec. Def.
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED 07/30/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC]
Describes Defense Department interrogation witnessed by FBI personnel. I
saw [a] detainee sitting on the floor of the interview room with an
Israeli flag draped around him, loud music being played and a strobe light
flashing. I left the monitoring room immediately after seeing this
activity. I did not see any other persons inside the interview room with
the Israeli flag draped detainee, but suspect that this was a practice
used by DOD DHS . . .
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED 06/29/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC] Notes
allegation of detainee at Abu Ghraib: They tortured me and cuffed me in an
act called the scorpion, and pouring cold water on me They tortured me
from morning until the morning of the next day, and when I fell down from
the severe torture I fell on the barbed wires, and then they dragged me
from my feet and I was wounded and, and they punched me on my stomach.
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED 06/25/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC] Notes that
detainee arrived from Temporary Holding Facility with marks (burns) on him
that seemed suspicious When questioned about the marks, the detainee
stated that he had been tortured by his capt[ors]. Immediately this
information was reported to the TF 6-26 Chain of Command, and there is
currently a military 15-6 investigation initiated.
Urgent Report from FBI Director to various FBI officials 06/25/04 12/15/04
FBI [OGC] The following information provides initial details from an
individual REDACTED who observed serious physical abuses of civilian
detainees in REDACTED Iraq during the period of REDACTED. . . . REDACTED
observed numerous physical abuse incidents of Iraqi civilian detainees
conducted in REDACTED Iraq. He described that such abuses included
strangulation, beatings, placement of lit cigarettes into the detainees
ear openings, and unauthorized interrogations. REDACTED was providing this
information to the FBI based on his knowledge that REDACTED cover-up of
these abuses. He stated these cover-up efforts included REDACTED . . . .
Email from REDACTED to M.C. Briese, Gary Bald, T.J. Harrington, Frankie
Battle and other redacted parties Re Request for Guidance regarding OGC EC
dated 5/19/04, signed [REDACTED], On scene Commander-- Baghdad. 05/ 22/04
12/15/04 FBI [OGC Emails Part 2] Request for guidance regarding the OGC's
EC regarding detainee abuse, referring to interrogation techniques made
lawful by the President's Executive Order.
Translated interview of Guantanamo detainee 05/22/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC]
REDACTED stated that he had been beaten unconscious approximately three or
four weeks ago when he was still at Camp X-Ray. According to REDACTED, an
unknown number of guards entered his cell, unprovoked, and started
spitting and curing at him. . . . REDACTED rolled onto his stomach to
protect himself, REDACTED state a soldier named REDACTED jumped on his
back and started beating him in the face REDACTED then choked him until he
passed out. REDACTED stated that REDACTED was beating him because REDACTED
was a Muslim . . . .
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED 08/02/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC] Here is a
brief summary of what I observed at GTMO. On a couple of occasions, I
entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand a foot in a fetal
position to the floor, with no chair, food, or water. Most times they had
urinated or defecated on themselves and had been left there for 18 24
hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down
so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted
detainee was shaking with cold. . . . On another occasion, the A/C had
been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room probably
well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor
with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling
his own hair out throughout the night. . . .
E-mail from REDACTED to REDACTED 07/12/04 12/15/04 FBI [OGC] I am
responding to your request for feedback on aggressive treatment and
improper interview techniques used on detainees at GTMO. I did observe
treatment that was not only aggressive, but personally very upsetting,
although I cant say that this treatment was perpetrated by Bureau
employees. It seemed that these techniques were being employed by the
military, government contract employees and REDACTED.

These REDACTED should go REDACTED themselves!
Which, of course, is physically impossible. Believe me, if I could do that, I'd never leave home.
But then, REDACTED anway.
