Army Regulation 15-6: Final Report
Investigation into FBI Allegations of Detainee Abuse at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Detention Facility
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Detention and interrogation operations at Joint Task Force Guantanamo
(JTF-GTMO) cover a three-year period and over 24,000 interrogations. This
AR 15-6 investigation found only three interrogation acts in violation of
interrogation techniques authorized by Army Field Manual 34-52 and DoD
guidance. The AR 15-6 also found that the Commander of JTF-GTMO failed
to monitor the interrogation of one high value detainee in late 2002. The
AR 15-6 found that the interrogation of this same high value detainee
resulted in degrading and abusive treatment but did not rise to the level of
being inhumane treatment. Finally, the AR 15-6 found that the
communication of a threat to another high value detainee was in violation
of SECDEF guidance and the UCMJ. The AR 15-6 found no evidence of
torture or inhumane treatment at JTF-GTMO.
INTRODUCTION
In June 2004, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began an internal
investigation to determine if any of its personnel had observed mistreatment or
aggressive behavior towards detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO). On
9 Jul 04, the FBI – Inspection Division (INSD), sent an e-mail message to all FBI
personnel who had served in any capacity at GTMO. The e-mail stated in
relevant part:
“You have been identified as having conducted an assignment at GTMO, Cuba
since 9/11/2001. The Inspection Division has been tasked with contacting those
employees who have served in any capacity at GTMO and obtain information
regarding the treatment of detainees. Employees should immediately respond to
the following:
1) Employees who observed aggressive treatment, which was not consistent
with Bureau interview policy guidelines, should respond via e-mail for
purposes of a follow-up interview.
2) Employees who worked at GTMO and observed no aggressive treatment
of detainees should respond via an EC documenting a negative
response…”
The above e-mail message was sent by INSD to 493 FBI personnel who had
served in GTMO between 9 Sep 01 and 9 Jul 04. INSD received 434 total

responses, and 26 agents stated that they had observed aggressive treatment of
detainees at GTMO.
In response to FBI agent allegations of aggressive interrogation techniques at
Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay (JTF-GTMO) Cuba, that were disclosed in
Dec 04 as a result of FOIA releases, General (GEN) Bantz J. Craddock,
Commander United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), ordered an
AR 15-6 investigation and appointed Brigadier General (BG) John T. Furlow,
United States Army South Deputy Commander for Support, as the investigating
officer. BG Furlow was directed to address the following allegations:
a. That military interrogators improperly used military working dogs during
interrogation sessions to threaten detainees, or for some other purpose;
b. That military interrogators improperly used duct tape to cover a detainee’s
mouth and head;
c. That DoD interrogators improperly impersonated FBI agents and
Department of State officers during the interrogation of detainees;
d. That, on several occasions, DoD interrogators improperly played loud
music and yelled loudly at detainees;
e. That military personnel improperly interfered with FBI interrogators in the
performance of their FBI duties;
f. That military interrogators improperly used sleep deprivation against
detainees;
g. That military interrogators improperly chained detainees and placed them in
a fetal position on the floor, and denied them food and water for long
periods of time;
h. That military interrogators improperly used extremes of heat and cold
during their interrogation of detainees.
Subsequent to the initial appointment, GEN Craddock directed BG Furlow to
investigate two additional allegations concerning a female military interrogator
performing a “lap dance” on a detainee and the use of faux “menstrual blood”
during an interrogation. Finally, the appointment letter directed BG Furlow to not
limit himself to the listed allegations.
On 28 Feb 05, after two months of investigation, BG Furlow advised GEN
Craddock that he needed to interview officers senior in grade to himself. On 28
Feb 05 GEN Craddock appointed Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Randall M.
Schmidt, United States Southern Command Air Forces Commander, Davis-

Monthan AFB, AZ, as the senior investigating officer. This report reflects the
combined findings and conclusions of the initial investigative efforts and the
combined investigative efforts of both BG Furlow and Lt Gen Schmidt.
After submission of the AR15-6 Report of Investigation on 1 Apr 05, CDR
USSOUTHCOM directed on 5 May 2005 that the investigation be reopened to
consider memos dated 11 Dec 04 and 24 Dec 04, that had recently been
discovered, regarding the subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan. Prior
to completion of the follow-up, CDR USSOUTHCOM directed on 2 Jun 05 that
the investigation should also address new allegations made by the subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
This investigation was directed and accomplished under the “informal
procedures” provisions of Army Regulation 15-6, Procedures for Investigating
Officers and Boards of Officers, dated 30 Sep 96, (AR 15-6). This AR 15-6
investigation centered on alleged abuses occurring during interrogation
operations. This AR 15-6 found incidents of abuse during detention operations;
all of which were appropriately addressed by the command. The investigation
team conducted a comprehensive review of thousands of documents and
statements pertaining to any allegations of abuse occurring at GTMO, to include
the complete medical records of the subjects of the first and second Special
Interrogation Plan. The team interviewed 30 FBI agents, conducted interviews of
over 100 personnel from 6 Jan 05 to 24 Mar 05 and had access to hundreds of
interviews conducted by several recent investigations. These interviews included
personnel assigned to GTMO, USSOUTHCOM, and OSD during the tenure of
JTFs 160, 170, and GTMO. It included nine DIA personnel, including every Joint
Intelligence Group Chief and every Intelligence Control Element Chief. It
included 76 DoD personnel, to include every General Officer who commanded
Joint Task Force 160, Joint Task Force 170 and Joint Task Force GTMO. DoD
personnel interviewed also included personnel who served as interrogators at
GTMO and instructors at the US Army Intelligence School and Center. During
the course of the investigation, the team visited Birmingham, AL; Chicago, IL; Ft
Bragg, NC; Ft Devens, MA; Ft Huachuca, AZ; GTMO (twice); Los Angeles, CA;
Miami, FL; and Washington D.C. (five times).
The investigation team attempted to determine if the allegations alleged by the
FBI, in fact, occurred. During the course of the follow up investigation the AR156 also considered allegations raised specifically by detainees the subject of the
first and second Special Interrogation Plans. The investigating team applied a
preponderance standard of proof consistent with the guidance contained in
AR15-6. The team also applied guidance contained in FM 34-52, CDR
USSOUTHCOM, and SECDEF memorandums authorizing special interrogation
techniques in deciding if a particular interrogation approach fell properly within an
authorized technique. In those cases in which the team concluded that the

UNCLASSIFIED
3

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
allegation had in fact occurred, the team then considered whether the incident
was in compliance with interrogation techniques that were approved either at the
time of the incident or subsequent to the incident. In those cases where it was
determined the allegation occurred and to have not been an authorized
technique, the team then reviewed whether disciplinary action had already been
taken and the propriety of that action. On 28 Mar 05, GEN Craddock, as the
investigation appointing authority, asked Lt Gen Schmidt to determine
accountability for those substantiated violations that had no command action
taken.
The team did not review the legal validity of the various interrogation techniques
outlined in Army Field Manual 34-52, or those approved by the Secretary of
Defense.
BACKGROUND
On 7 Mar 05 Vice Admiral A.T. Church, III submitted his final report of detention
operations and detainee interrogation techniques in the Global War on Terror to
the Secretary of Defense. (hereinafter “Church Report”) That report included a
thorough background discussion of detainee operations at GTMO. Our
investigation independently researched the genesis and adjustments to policy
and interrogation techniques from the origination of GTMO to the present. Our
independently derived findings regarding the development and adjustments to
policy and interrogation techniques are identical to the Church report. Therefore,
I have adopted relevant portions of the Church report to show the development of
permissible interrogation techniques.
Interrogation operations at GTMO began in January 2002. Initially interrogators
relied upon the interrogation techniques contained in FM 34-52. These
techniques were ineffective against detainees who had received interrogation
resistance training. On 11 Oct 2002, Major General Michael E. Dunlavey, the
Commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) 170, the intelligence task force at GTMO,
requested that the CDR USSOUTHCOM, GEN James T. Hill, approve 19 counter
resistance techniques that were not specifically listed in FM 34-52. The
techniques were broken down into Categories I, II, and III, with the third category
containing the most aggressive techniques. On 25 Oct 02 CDR USSOUTHCOM
forwarded the request to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General
Richard B. Myers. On 2 Dec 02, the Secretary of Defense approved the use of all
Category I and II techniques, but only one of the Category III techniques (which
authorized mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the
chest with a finger, and light pushing). In the approval memorandum, the
SECDEF approved the techniques for use by CDR USSOUTHCOM, who
subsequently verbally delegated the authority to approve and apply these
techniques to CDR JTF-GTMO.

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
On 15 Jan 03, SECDEF rescinded his approval of all Category II techniques and
the one Category III technique leaving only Category I techniques in effect. The
SECDEF memo permitted use of Category II and III techniques only with
SECDEF approval. No approval was requested or granted.
On 16 Apr 03, the Secretary of Defense issued a new policy accepting 24
techniques, most of which were taken directly from or closely resembled those in
FM 34-52. The Secretary’s guidance remains in effect today. This policy
memorandum placed several requirements on CDR USSOUTHCOM. First, it
required all detainees to continue to be treated humanely. Second, it required
SECDEF notification prior to the implementation of any of the following
aggressive Interrogation techniques: Incentive/Removal of Incentive; Pride and
Ego Down; Mutt and Jeff; and Isolation. Third, it specifically limited the use of
these aggressive techniques to circumstances required by “military necessity.”
The memorandum did not attempt to define the parameters of “humane
treatment” or “military necessity.”
The CDR USSOUTHCOM issued a memorandum on 2 Jun 03 providing further
guidance on the implementation of the 16 Apr 03 SECDEF approved techniques.
This guidance provided that prior to the use of any of the specified aggressive
techniques, the JTF Commander would submit the request in writing to CDR
USSOUTHCOM for submission to SECDEF. The guidance also stated that
“specific implementation guidance with respect to techniques A-Q is provided in
Army Field Manual 34-52. Further implementation guidance with respect to
techniques R-X will need to be developed by the appropriate authority.” GTMO
standard operating procedure on interrogations provides guidance for
interrogations.
In addition, the CDR USSOUTHCOM guidance provided the following
clarification to the SECDEF’s 16 Apr 03 memorandum: (quoting)
(a) Reference Technique B, the Working Group was most concerned
about removal of the Koran from a detainee—something we no longer
do. Because providing incentives (e.g., McDonald’s Fish Sandwiches
or cigarettes) is an integral part of interrogations, you will notify me in
writing when the provided incentive would exceed that contemplated
by interrogation doctrine contained in Army FM 34-52, or when the
interrogators intend to remove an incentive from a detainee;
(b) Reference Techniques I and O, you will notify me in writing when use
of these standard interrogation techniques goes beyond the doctrinal
application described in Army FM 34-52. When use of the technique
is consistent with FM 34-52, you do not need to notify me;
(c) I define “sleep deprivation”, referenced in Technique V, as keeping a
detainee awake for more that 16 hrs, or allowing a detainee to rest

UNCLASSIFIED
5

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
briefly and then repeatedly awakening him, not to exceed four days in
succession;
(d) Reference Technique X, I do not consider the use of maximumsecurity units as isolation. A detainee placed in a maximum-security
unit is segregated, but not truly isolated;
(e) I define the “least intrusive method” as the technique that has the least
impact on a detainee’s standard of treatment, while evoking the
desired response from the detainee during interrogations;
(f) Except in the case of Techniques B, I, O, and X, I have determined
that the first 0-6/GG-15 in the chain of command or supervision, is the
“appropriate specified senior approval authority,” unless approval
authority is withheld from that individual by higher authority.
Lastly, I have told the Secretary of Defense his 16 April guidance applies
to all interagency elements assigned or attached to JTF GTMO. (end

There have been over 24,000 interrogation sessions at GTMO since the
beginning of interrogation operations.

FINDINGS
GENERAL DETAINEE POPULATION
Allegation: That DoD interrogators improperly impersonated FBI agents or
Department of State officers during the interrogation of detainees.
Finding #1: On several occasions in 2003 various DoD interrogators
impersonated agents of the FBI and the Department of State.
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 (p. 3-13); Category I technique approved by
SECDEF – Deceiving interrogator identity
Discussion: The Chief of the Special Interrogation Team directed two
interrogators to pose as US State Department representatives during an
interrogation. In addition another interrogator posed as an FBI agent on one
occasion. This impersonation came to the attention of the Senior Supervisory
Agent (SSA) of the FBI at Guantanamo Bay when several other agents advised
him that detainees were complaining d uring interviews that the FBI had already
asked them the same questions. The SSA approached the Joint Interrogation
Group (JIG) Chief, with his agents’ concerns. According to the SSA, the JIG
Chief did not contest the FBI agents’ accusations. In fact, the JIG Chief knew of
at least one military interrogator who had impersonated an FBI agent. After the

UNCLASSIFIED
6

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
meeting, the JIG Chief agreed to stop the practice of DoD interrogators
impersonating FBI agents without prior FBI approval. The SSA made it clear to
the investigation team that he did not believe the impersonation interfered with
FBI operations and was pleased with the JIG Chief’s rapid and thorough
response to the situation.
Organizational response: Immediately stopped the practice.
Recommendation #1: The allegation should be closed. The technique,
while authorized, was undermining the inter-agency working relationship.
No additional corrective action is necessary or appropriate.
Allegation: That a female military interrogator performed a “lap dance” on
a detainee during an interrogation. I have expanded this allegation to “That
female military interrogators performed acts designed to take advantage of
their gender in relation to Muslim males.”
Finding #2a: On one occasion between October 2002 and January 2003, a
female interrogator put perfume on a detainee by touching the detainee on his
arm with her hand;
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 (p. 3-11); Category III technique approved
by SECDEF – Mild, non-injurious physical touching
Discussion: a. On at least one occasion in late 2002, a female interrogator
rubbed perfume on a detainee. The Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief
stated that he specifically directed the interrogator to go to the PX and purchase
rose oil with the intent o f rubbing a portion of the perfume on the detainee’s arm
to distract the detainee. The interrogator admitted to using this approach with a
detainee. At the time of the event the detainee responded by attempting to bite
the interrogator and lost his balance, fell out of his chair, and chipped his tooth.
He received immediate and appropriate medical attention and did not suffer
permanent injury.
Organizational response: a. The interrogator was not disciplined for rubbing
perfume on a detainee since this was an authorized technique.
Finding #2b: During the month of March 2003, a female interrogator
approached a detainee from behind, rubbed against his back, leaned over the
detainee touching him on his knee and shoulder and whispered in his ear that his
situation was futile, and ran her fingers through his hair.
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Futility – Act used to highlight
futility of the detainee’s situation.

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
Discussion: b. On 17 Apr 03, An interrogation supervisor supervised a female
interrogator as she interrogated a detainee with her BDU top off 1, and
subsequently the interrogator ran her fingers through the detainee’s hair. The
interrogator also approached the detainee from behind, touched him on his knee
and shoulder, leaned o ver him, and placed her face near the side of his in an
effort to create stress and break his concentration during interrogation.
Organizational response: b. The interrogation supervisor was given a written
letter of admonishment for failure to document the techniques to be implemented
by the interrogator prior to the interrogation. There is no evidence that either
activity ever occurred again.
Recommendation #2: Command action was effective and sufficient with
respect to the individual interrogators. AR 15-6 recommends that the
approval authority for the use of gender coercion as futility technique be
withheld to the JTF GTMO-CG.
Allegation: That a female military interrogator wiped “menstrual blood” on
a detainee during an interrogation.
Finding #3: In March 2003, a female interrogator told a detainee that red ink on
her hand was menstrual blood and then wiped her hand on the detainee’s arm.
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Futility – act used to highlight
futility of the detainee’s situation
Discussion: The female interrogator is no longer in military service and has
declined to be interviewed. According to a former ICE Deputy the incident
occurred when a detainee spat in the interrogator’s face. According to the former
ICE Deputy, the interrogator left the interrogation room and was crying outside
the booth. She developed a plan to psychologically get back at him. She
touched the detainee on his shoulder, showed him the red ink on her hand and
said; by the way, I am mens truating. The detainee threw himself on the floor and
started banging his head. This technique was not in an approved interrogation
plan.
Organizational response: The ICE Deputy verbally reprimanded the
interrogator for this incident. No formal disciplinary action was taken. There is
no evidence that this happened again.
Recommendation #3: Command action was inadequate with respect to the
individual interrogator. The interrogator should have been formally
admonished or reprimanded for using a technique that was not approved in
advance. Advance approval ensures that retaliatory techniques are not

employed on impulse. Considering the lapse in time, recommend this
allegation be closed.
Allegation: That DoD interrogators improperly played loud music and
yelled loudly at detainees.
Finding #4: On numerous occasions between July 2002 and October 2004,
detainees were yelled at or subjected to loud music during interrogation.
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Incentive and Futility – acts
used as reward for cooperating or to create futility if not cooperating.
Discussion: Almost every interviewee stated that yelling and the use of loud
music were used for interrogations at GTMO. On a few occasions, detainees
were left alone in the i nterrogation booth for an indefinite period of time while
loud music played and strobe lights flashed. The vast majority of yelling and
music was accomplished with interrogators in the room. The volume of the
music was never loud enough to cause any physical injury. Interrogators stated
that cultural music would be played as an incentive. Futility technique included
the playing of Metallica, Britney Spears, and Rap music.
Organizational response: None.
Recommendation #4: The allegation should be closed. Recommend JTFGTMO develop specific guidance on the length of time that a detainee may
be subjected to futility music. Placement of a detainee in the interrogation
booth and subjecting him to loud music and strobe lights should be limited
and conducted within clearly prescribed limits.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used extremes of heat
and cold during their interrogation of detainees.
Finding #5: On several occasions during 2002 and 2003, interrogators would
adjust the air conditioner to make the detainee uncomfortable.
Technique: Unauthorized prior to 16 Apr 03: SECDEF did not approve
exposure to cold in his 2 Dec 02 list of approved techniques
Technique: Authorized after 16 Apr 03: SECDEF approved technique. This
technique was officially permitted under 16 Apr 03 SECDEF Memorandum –
Environmental Manipulation
Discussion: Two FBI agents indicated that they were aware of DoD
interrogators using temperature adjustment as an interrogation technique. Many
interviewees, FBI agents and military interrogators, believed the hot climate at
GTMO and the detainee’s comfort in a hot climate caused a differing in opinions

UNCLASSIFIED
9

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
regarding the use of the air conditioning units in the interrogation booths. There
were several individuals who were interviewed who acknowledged that certain
military interrogators would adjust the air conditioning down (cool) in an attempt
to make the detainee uncomfortable for the interrogation. Several witnesses
indicated that the practice of adjusting the temperature ceased when CDR JTFGTMO directed that the practice no longer be employed. The current GTMO
SOP still permits interrogators to adjust the temperature. In addition, one
interrogator supervisor stated that detainees were interrogated at Camp X-Ray,
where the “booths” were not air-conditioned, to make the detainees
uncomfortable.
Organizational response: No disciplinary action required.
Recommendation #5: The allegation should be closed.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used sleep deprivation
against detainees.
Finding #6: During 2003 and 2004 some detainees were subjected to cell
moves every few hours to disrupt sleep patterns and lower the ability to resist
interrogation. Each case differed as to length and freque ncy of the cell moves.
Technique: Unauthorized prior to 2 Dec 02 and between 15 Jan 03 and 16
Apr 03: Neither sleep disruption or deprivation is an authorized FM 34-52
technique
Technique: Authorized between 2 Dec 02 and 15 Jan 03 and after 16 Apr
03: The exact parameters of this technique remained undefined until 2 Jun 03
when CDR USSOUTHCOM established clear guidance on the use of sleep
adjustment. His guidance prohibited the practice of keeping a detainee awake
for “more than 16 hours or allowing a detainee to rest briefly and then repeatedly
awakening him, not to exceed four days in succession.”
Discussion: Only one FBI agent alleged sleep deprivation; his complaint was
that an individual was subjected to 16 hours of interrogation followed by four -hour
breaks. He says he was told about these sessions by DoD interrogators and
they implied that these 16 hour interrogations were repeated on a 20 hour cycle,
but he did not know for certain what in fact occurred. The FBI agent was at
GTMO from 2 Jun 03 to 17 Jul 03. Under CDR USSOUTHCOM’s 2 Jun 03
guidance, 16 hour interrogations were permitted and do not constitute sleep
deprivation if done on a 24 hour cycle. During the course of the investigation of
the FBI allegation, the AR 15-6 did conduct a review of the interrogation records
to see if there was any evidence that corroborated this allegation. While not
directly supporting the FBI’s allegation, records indicated that some interrogators
recommended detainees for the “frequent flyer program.” A current GTMO
interrogation analyst indicated that this was a program in effect throughout 2003

UNCLASSIFIED
10

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
and until March 2004 to move detainees every few hours from one cell to another
to disrupt their sleep. Documentation on one detainee indicated that he was
subjected to this practice as recently as March 2004.
Organizational response: None. Current JTF-GTMO Commander terminated
the frequent flyer cell movement program upon his arrival in March 04.
Recommendation #6: The allegation should be closed. Recommend
USSOUTHCOM clarify policy on sleep deprivation.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used duct tape to cover a
detainee’s mouth and head.
Finding #7: Sometime in October 2002 duct tape was used to “quiet” a
detainee.
Technique: Unauthorized
Discussion: In his testimony, the ICE Chief testified that he had a situation in
which a detainee was screaming resistance messages and potentially provoking
a riot. At the time of the incident there were 10 detainees in the interrogation
section and the ICE Chief was concerned about losing control of the situation.
He directed the MPs to quiet the detainee down. The MP mentioned that he had
duct tape. The ICE Chief says he ultimately approved the use of duct tape to
quiet the detainee. The MP then placed a single strand of duct tape around the
detainee’s mouth. The single strand proved ineffective because the detainee
was soon yelling again. This time the MPs wrapped a single strand of duct tape
around the mouth and head of the detainee. The detainee removed the duct
tape again. Fed up and concerned that the detainee’s yelling might cause a riot
in the interrogation trailer, The ICE Chief ordered the MPs to wrap the duct tape
twice around the head and mouth and three times under the chin and around the
top of the detainee’s head. According to an FBI agent, he and another FBI agent
were approached by the ICE Chief who was laughing and told the agents that
they needed to see something. When the first agent went to the interrogation
room he saw that the detainee’s head had been wrapped in duct tape over his
beard and his hair. An interrogator testified that another interrogator admitted to
him that he had duct taped the head of a detainee. According to the first agent,
the ICE Chief said the interrogator wrapped the detainee’s head with duct tape
because the detainee refused to stop “chanting” passages from the Koran.
Organizational response: The JTF-170 JAG testified that she became aware
of the incident and personally counseled the ICE Chief. The counseling session
consisted of a verbal admonishment.2 The ICE Chief did not receive any formal
2

While the ICE Chief testified that he was counseled by the JTF-GTMO Commander this is not possible.
The Commander in question did not arrive until the month following the event. The previous Commander
has no recollection of the event.

discipline action. We have no evidence that duct tape was ever used again on a
detainee.
Recommendation #7: Command action was inadequate with respect to the
ICE Chief. He should be formally admonished or reprimanded for directing
an inappropriate restraint to be used on a detainee.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly chained detainees and
placed them in a fetal position on the floor
Finding #8: On at least two occasions between February 2002 and February
2003, two detainees were “short shackled” to the eye-bolt on the floor in the
interrogation room.
Technique: Unauthorized.
Discussion: Two FBI agents each stated that they witnessed a detainee in an
interrogation room that had been “short shackled” to the floor. Short shackling is
the process by which the detainee’s hand restraints are connected directly to an
eyebolt in the floor requiring the detainee to either crouch very low or lay in a
fetal position on the floor. The FBI agents indicated that each of the detainees
was clothed. Another FBI agent stated she witnessed a detainee short shackled
and lying in his own excrement. The AR 15-6 was unable to find any
documentation, testimony, or other evidence corroborating the third agent’s
recollection, to this allegation or her email allegation that one of the detainees
had pulled his hair out while short shackled. We also found that ‘short shackling’
was initially authorized as a force protection measure during the in processing of
detainees. 3
Organizational response: None. JTF -GTMO has implemented SOPs that
prohibit short shackling.
Recommendation #8: The allegation should be closed. The AR 15-6 was
not able to find any evidence to adequately assign responsibility for these
actions. This practice is now specifically prohibited by current GTMO
interrogation policy.
Allegation: That military personnel improperly interfered with FBI
interrogators in the performance of their FBI duties.
Finding #9: We discovered no evidence to support this allegation.

3

During the course of a site visit to GTMO several detention operations personnel indicated that they
understood that short shackling was permitted in the early days of GTMO as a force protection measure.
They all stated that it was no longer authorized as either a detention measure or during interrogations.

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
Discussion: This allegation stems from an FBI agent objections to a proposed
Special Interrogation Plan. The dispute resulted in a DoD official being rude to
the FBI agent. The team did not find any evidence of “interference” with FBI
interrogations that extended beyond the dispute over which techniques worked
best in interrogation. During the infancy of interrogation operations at GTMO, it
was obvious that the different investigative agencies had different interrogation
objectives. Law enforcement agencies were primarily interested in interviews
that would produce voluntary confessions that would be admissible in U.S.
Federal District Courts. Conversely, DoD interrogators were interested in
actionable intelligence and thus had greater latitude on the techniques used
during the interrogations. These different goals created friction.
Recommendation #9: The allegation should be closed.
Allegation: That military interrogators denied detainees food and water for
long periods of time.
Finding #10: We discovered no evidence to support the allegation that the
detainees were denied food and water.
Discussion: This allegation stems from the statement of an FBI Agent. She
reports two incidents of observing two detainees in “the fetal position and lying on
the floor of interview rooms.” And that there were was no “evidence of any food
or water.” The Agent admits in her statement that she made an assumption that
the detainees were denied food and water based solely upon their appearance.
The Agent was unable to provide any specific information as to the day she
made these observations to permit additional proof or assignment of
responsibility.
Recommendation #10: The allegation should be closed.

SPECIAL INTERROGATION PLANS
During the course of interrogations certain detainees exhibited refined
resistance techniques to interrogations. These detainees were suspected
to possess significant current intelligence regarding planned future
terrorist attacks against the United States. For these reasons Special
Interrogation Plans were proposed and approved for the detainees. A total
of two Special Interrogation Plans were carried out. They are referred to
herein as the “First Special Interrogation Plan” and the “Second Special
Interrogation Plan”.

THE FIRST SPECIAL INTERROGATION PLAN
On 23 Nov 02 interrogators initiated the first Special Interrogation Plan. The
interrogation plan was designed to counter resistance techniques of the subject

UNCLASSIFIED
13

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
of the first Special Interrogation Plan. The memo authorizing the techniques for
this interrogation was signed by SECDEF on 2 Dec 02. These techniques
supplemented techniques already permitted under the provisions of FM 34-52.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used military working
dogs (MWD) during interrogation sessions to threaten detainees, or for
some other purpose.
Finding #11a: On one occasion in October 2002 a military working dog was
brought into the interrogation room and directed to growl, bark, and show his
teeth at the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan.
Technique: Unauthorized prior to 12 Nov 02.
Discussion: a. October 2002 incident: GTMO records indicate that on 01 Oct
02, the Commander of JTF-170 requested Joint Detention Operations Group
(JDOG) support for interrogation operations to interrogate the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan. The dog was requested to assist in the movement of
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan between Camp X-ray and the
GTMO Naval Brig to “discourage the detainee from attempting to escape.” The
interrogation plan (IP) indicates that the interrogation would begin on the 2 nd or
3rd of October 2002. One FBI agent in his statement recalls the MWD being
used on or about 05 Oct 02. He indicated that the events were notable for
several reasons. He had recently purchased a German Shepard and wanted to
get some “tips” from the dog handlers. The FBI agent noticed that there were
two working dog teams (one Navy and one Army) present for the interrogation of
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan. Finally, the FBI agent recalled
that he and his partner left the observation room when the MWD was introduced
into the interrogation room. The FBI agent’s partner corroborates this statement.
In addition an interrogator indicated that she recalled a MWD being brought into
the interrogation room during interrogation of the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan at Camp X-ray, between 02-10 Oct 02. She stated that the
dogs were used only “briefly.” She stated that the use of the dog was
documented on the IP and approved by the ICE Chief and CDR, JTF-GTMO
Finding #11b: In November 2002 a military working dog was brought into the
interrogation room and directed to growl, bark, and show his teeth at the subject
of the first Special Interrogation Plan.
Technique: Authorized: SECDEF approved the use of Category I and II
techniques for the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan. Category II
technique permits the use of dogs to exploit “individual phobias” during
interrogations.

Discussion: b. An interrogator testified that the MWD was in the booth on one
occasion for the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan. He testified that
he was approached by another interrogator and discussed the use of a MWD in
an interrogation session. Specifically, the first interrogator stated that the second
interrogator told him that a MWD was brought into the doorway of the
interrogation room and ordered by the dog handler to growl, show teeth and bark
at the detainee. In addition a psychologist assigned to the Behavioral Science
Consultation Team (BSCT) for JTF-170/JTF-GTMO witnessed the use of a MWD
named “Zeus” during a military interrogation of the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan during the November 2002 time period. In his interview, the
ICE Chief acknowledged that an MWD had entered the interrogation room of the
subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan under the authority of a “special IP”
for the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan. The unsigned but approved
interrogation plan for the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan is from 12
Nov 02. (Church p. 115) It indicates dogs will only be used in interrogation if
approved in writing, in advance. Both JTF-GTMO Commanders who were in
charge during the execution of the special interrogation plan deny that they
authorized the use of MWDs in the interrogation room.
Organizational response: a. and b. None. Current SOPs expressly prohibit
the use of MWDs in the interrogation room. There is no evidence that this has
ever happened again.
Recommendation #11: The allegation should be closed. While the ICE
Chief was aware of and condoned the first use of the MWD, additional
corrective action is not necessary. The event occurred on two occasions
and was expressly approved after the first occasion for this detainee. This
practice is now specifically prohibited by current GTMO interrogation
policy.
Allegation: That a female military interrogator performed a “lap dance” on
a detainee during an interrogation. I have expanded this allegation to “That
female military interrogators performed acts designed to take advantage of
their gender in relation to Muslim males.”
Finding #12a: On 21 and 23 Dec 02, MPs held down a detainee while a female
interrogator straddled the detainee without placing weight on the detainee;
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Futility – Act used to highlight
futility of the detainee’s situation.
Finding #12b: On 04 Dec 02, a female interrogator massaged the detainee’s
back and neck over his clothing;
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Futility – Act used to highlight
futility of the detainee’s situation.

Finding #12c: On various occasions between October 2002 and January 2003,
a female interrogator invaded the private space of a detainee to disrupt his
concentration during interrogation;
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Futility – act used to highlight
futility of the detainee’s situation.
Discussion: Interrogation logs and MFRs for the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan document that on both 21 and 23 Dec 02, a female
interrogator straddled, without putting any weight on the detainee, the subject of
the first Special Interrogation Plan while he was being held down by MPs. During
these incidents a female interrogator would tell the detainee about the deaths of
fellow Al-Qaeda members. During the straddling, the detainee would attempt to
raise and bend his legs to prevent the interrogator from straddling him and
prayed loudly. Interrogation MFRs also indicate that on 04 Dec 02, a female
interrogator began to enter the personal space of the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan, touch him, and ultimately massage his back while whispering
or speaking near his ear. Throughout this event, the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan prayed, swore at the interrogator that she was going to Hell,
and attempted to get away from her. The female interrogator admitted in her
interview that she personally prepared portions of the MFRs of the the subject of
the first Special Interrogation Plan interrogations. She asserts that she had
permission to employ all these techniques. We have found no evidence of a lap
dance ever occurring.
Organizational response: No disciplinary action taken. The ICE Chief
approved these techniques at the time.
Recommendation #12: The allegation should be closed. No command
action is necessary with respect to the individual interrogators. Their
supervisor acknowledged that he approved the approaches at the time of
the interrogation. AR 15-6 recommends that the approval authority for the
use of gender coercion as futility technique be withheld to the JTF GTMOCG.
Allegation: That DoD interrogators improperly played loud music and
yelled loudly at detainees.
Finding #13: On numerous occasions between November 2002 and 15 Jan 03,
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was yelled at or subjected to
loud music during interrogation.
Technique: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Incentive and Futility – acts
used as reward for cooperating or to create futility in not cooperating.

Discussion: See above discussion for Finding #4.
Organizational response: No disciplinary action required; technique
authorized.
Recommendation #13: The allegation should be closed. Recommend JTFGTMO develop specific guidance on the length of time that a detainee may
be subjected to futility music. Placement of a detainee in the interrogation
booth and subjecting him to loud music and strobe lights should be limited
and conducted within clearly prescribed limits.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used extremes of heat
and cold during their interrogation of detainees.
Finding #14: On several occasions between November 2002 and January 2003
interrogators would adjust the air conditioner to make the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan uncomfortable.
Technique: Unauthorized prior to 16 Apr 03: SECDEF did not approve
exposure to cold in his 2 Dec 02 list of approved techniques
Discussion. There are no medical entries indicating the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan ever experienced medical problems related to low
body temperature. The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan’s medical
records do indicate that he did have a body temperature between 95 and 97
degrees twice. The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan’s medical
records do indicate that from 7 -9 Dec 02 he was hospitalized for observation
after an episode of bradycardia. He was released within forty-eight hours, after
the bradycardia resolved without intervention and he maintained stable
hemodynamics. 4 He experienced a second episode of bradycardia in Feb 03.
Organizational response: None
Recommendation #14: The allegation should be closed.
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used sleep deprivation
against detainees.
Finding #15: From 23 Nov 02 to 16 Jan 03, the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan was interrogated for 18-20 hours per day for 48 of the 54 days,
with the opportunity for a minimum of four hours rest per day.
Technique: Authorized: SECDEF approved technique. This technique was
officially permitted under 2 Dec 02 SECDEF Memorandum – The use of 20-hour
interrogations

Discussion: SECDEF approved 20 hour interrogations for every 24-hour cycle
for the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan on 12 Nov 02. Later, CDR
USSOUTHCOM formalized the definition of sleep deprivation in his 02 Jun 03
memorandum “promulgating” SECDEF’s interrogation techniques of 16 Apr 03.
He defined sleep deprivation as keeping a detainee awake for more than 16
hours, or allowing a detainee to rest briefly and then repeatedly awakening him,
not to exceed four days in succession.
Organizational response: None. This was an authorized interrogation
technique approved by SECDEF.
Recommendation #15: The allegation should be closed. Recommend
USSOUTHCOM clarify policy on sleep deprivation.
Additional Allegations, Re: The subject of the first Special Interrogation
Plan: In addition to the FBI allegations addressed above, the following additional
interrogation techniques (not all inclusive) were used in the interrogation of the
subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan. Each act is documented in the
interrogation MFRs maintained on the subject of the first Special Interrogation
Plan.
Finding #16a: That the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was
separated from the general population from 8 Aug 02 to 15 Jan 03.
Technique: Unauthorized prior to 12 Nov 02: SECDEF did not approve
movement of detainee to an “isolation facility” for interrogation purposes prior to
approval of Category II techniques for the subject of the first Special Interrogation
Plan on 12 Nov 02.
Technique: Authorized after 12 Nov 02:
Discussion: The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was never
isolated from human contact. The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan
was however placed in an “isolation facility” where he was separated from the
general detainee population from 8 Aug 02 to 15 Jan 03. The subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan routinely had contact with interrogators and MPs while
in the “isolation facility.” The SECDEF did not define “isolation facility” when he
approved the use of an “isolation facility” for up to 30 days with additional
isolation beyond 30 days requiring CDR JTF-GTMO approval on 12 Nov 02.
Prior to the SECDEF’s approval, placement in an “isolation facility” was not an
authorized interrogation technique.
Organizational response to Additional Allegations, Re: The subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan: None taken.

Eight Techniques Below: Authorized: FM 34-52 technique – Ego down and
Futility.
Finding #16b: On 06 Dec 02, the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan
was forced to wear a woman’s bra and had a thong placed on his head during
the course of the interrogation.
Finding #16c: On 17 Dec 02, the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan
was told that his mother and sister were whores.
Finding #16d: On 17 Dec 02, the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan
was told that he was a homosexual, had homosexual tendencies, and that other
detainees had found out about these tendencies
Finding #16e: On 20 Dec 02, an interrogator tied a leash to the subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan’s chains, led him around the room, and forced him
to perform a series of dog tricks.
Finding #16f: On 20 Dec 02, an interrogator forced the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan to dance with a male interrogator.
Finding #16g: On several occasions in Dec 02, the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan was subject to strip searches.5 These searches, conducted by
the prison guards during interrogation, were done as a control measure on
direction of the interrogators.
Finding #16h: On one occasion in Dec 02, the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan was forced to stand naked for five minutes with females
present. This incident occurred during the course of a strip search.
Finding #16i: On three occasions in Nov 02 and Dec 02, the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan was prevented from praying during interrogation
Finding #16j: Once in Nov 02, the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan
became upset when two Korans were put on a TV , as a control measure during
interrogation, and in Dec 02 when an interrogator got up on the desk in front of
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan and squatted down in front of
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan in an aggressive manner and
unintentionally squatted over the detainee’s Koran.
Finding #16k: On seventeen occasions, between 13 Dec 02 and 14 Jan 03,
interrogators, during interrogations, poured water over the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan head.
5

The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan alleges that he was subject to “cavity searches.” During
the course of interrogation, the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was strip searched. The AR
15-6 was unable to determine the scope of these strip searches.

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
Discussion: the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was a high value
detainee that ultimately provided extremely valuable intelligence. His ability to
resist months of standard interrogation in the summer of 2002 was the genesis
for the request to have authority to employ additional counter resistance
interrogation techniques. The techniques used against the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan were done in an effort to establish complete control
and create the perception of futility and reduce his resistance to interrogation.
For example, this included the use of strip searches, the control of prayer, the
forced wearing of a woman’s bra, and other techniques noted above. It is clear
based upon the completeness of the interrogation logs that the interrogation
team believed that they were acting within existing guidance. Despite the fact
that the AR 15-6 concluded that every technique employed against the subject of
the first Special Interrogation Plan was legally permissible under the existing
guidance, the AR 15-6 finds that the creative, aggressive, and persistent
interrogation of the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan resulted in the
cumulative effect being degrading and abusive treatment. Particularly troubling
is the combined impact of the 160 days of segregation from other detainees, 48
of 54 consecutive days of 18 to 20-hour interrogations, and the creative
application of authorized interrogation techniques. Requiring the subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan to be led around by a leash tied to his chains,
placing a thong on his head, wearing a bra, insulting his mother and sister, being
forced to stand naked in front of a female interrogator for five minutes, and using
strip searches as an interrogation technique the AR 15-6 found to be abusive and
degrading, particularly when done in the context of the 48 days of intense and
long interrogations. 6 While this treatment did not rise to the level of prohibited
inhumane treatment the JTF-GTMO CDR was responsible for the interrogation of
the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan and had a responsibility to
provide strategic guidance to the interrogation team. He failed to monitor the
interrogation and exercise commander discretion by placing limits on the
application of otherwise authorized techniques and approaches used in that
interrogation. The Commander stated he was unaware of the specific details or
impacts of the techniques on the detainee for this important interrogation. His
failure to supervise the interrogation of the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan allowed subordinates to make creative decisions in an
environment requiring extremely tight controls 7.
Recommendation #16: The Commander JTF-GTMO should be held
accountable for failing to supervise the interrogation of the subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan and should be admonished for that failure.
6

The AR 15-6 found no evidence that the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was ever
physically assaulted. His medical records show no evidence of any physical assaults. A medical
examination completed on the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan on 16 Jan 03 found no medical
conditions of note.
7
The JTF-GTMO Commander’s testimony that he was unaware of the creative approaches taken in the
interrogation is inconsistent with his 21 Jan 03 letter to CDR USSOUTHCOM in which he asserts that the
CJTF approved the interrogation plan in place and it was followed “relentlessly by the command.”

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
Allegation: In addition to the allegations above, the AR 15-6 also considered
additional allegations raised specifically by the subject of the first Special
Interrogation Plan.
Finding #17: The AR 15-6 was unable to corroborate the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan’s allegations to the point of concluding that they had
occurred by a preponderance of the evidence. Specific findings include:
The AR 15-6 did find that the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was
required to stand for periods of time which he may have interpreted as forced
positions.
There is evidence that the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan regularly
had water poured on his head. The interrogation logs indicate that this was done
as a control measure only.
There is no evidence that the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was
subjected to humiliation intentionally directed at his religion. It is however
possible that the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan interpreted many
of the interrogation techniques employed to be religious humiliation.
The AR 15-6 found no evidence that the subject of the first Special Interrogation
Plan was threatened with homosexual rape. He was told on 17 Dec 02 that he
was a homosexual but not threatened in any manner.
There is no evidence, to include entries in his medical records, that either
occurred regarding the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan or any other
detainee.
Discussion: In reaching conclusions on the treatment of the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan the AR 15-6 relied heavily on the interrogations logs.
The level of specificity of the logs strongly supports their credibility regarding the
interrogation of the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan and thus they
carried considerable weight on the findings.
Recommendation #17: The allegation should be closed

THE SECOND SPECIAL INTERROGATION PLAN
In July 03 interrogators initiated a request for approval of a Special Interrogation
Plan for a detainee. This plan was approved by SECDEF on 13 Aug 03.
Interrogation logs indicate that the techniques were never implemented because
the subject of the second special interrogation plan began to cooperate prior to
the approval.

1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
In addition to the interrogation logs, the AR 15-6 also considered allegations of
abuse raised by the subject of the second special interrogation, himself.
Specifically, after months of cooperation with interrogators, on 11 Dec 04, the
subject of the second special interrogation notified his interrogator that he had
been “subject to torture” by past interrogators during the months of July to
October 2003.8
Allegation: That military interrogators improperly used extremes of heat
and cold during their interrogation of detainees.
Finding #18: During the summer of 2003, interrogators would adjust the air
conditioner to make the subject of the second special interrogation
uncomfortable.
Technique: Authorized: SECDEF approved technique. This technique was
officially permitted under 16 Apr 03 SECDEF Memorandum – Environmental
Manipulation.
Discussion: The interrogation logs of the subject of the second Special
Interrogation Plan indicate that on at least two occasions on 10 and 11 Jul 03 the
air conditioner was turned off to heat up the room. In addition the subject of the
second special interrogation alleges that on repeated occasions from Jul 03 to
Oct 03, he was subjected to placement in a room referred to as the “freezer.”
Organizational response: No disciplinary action required. Environmental
manipulation was expressly permitted in the 16 Apr 03 SECDEF Memorandum.
There is no evidence in the medical records of the subject of the second special
interrogation being treated for hypothermia or any other condition related to
extreme exposure.
Recommendation #18: The allegation should be closed.
Allegation: The subject of the second special interrogation alleges that
female military interrogators removed their BDU tops and rubbed
themselves against the detainee, fondled his genitalia, and made lewd
sexual comments, noises, and gestures.

He reported these allegations to an interrogator. The interrogator was a member of the interrogation team
at the time of the report. The interrogator reported the allegations to her supervisor. Shortly after being
advised of the alleged abuse, the supervisor interviewed the subject of the second special interrogation,
with the interrogator present, regarding the allegations. Based upon this interview, and notes taken by the
interrogator, the supervisor prepared an 11 Dec 04 MFR addressed to JTF – GTMO JIG & ICE. The
supervisor forwarded his MFR to the JTF – GTMO JIG. The JIG then forwarded the complaint to the JAG
for processing IAW normal GTMO procedures for investigating allegations of abuse. The JAG by email
on 22 Dec 04 tasked the JDOG, the JIG, and the JMG with a review of the complaint summarized in the 11
Dec 04 M FR and directed them to provide any relevant information. The internal GTMO investigation was
never completed.

Finding #19: The AR 15-6 was unable to corroborate the allegations to the point
of concluding that they had occurred by a preponderance of the evidence.
Discussion: The interrogation logs for the subject of the second special
interrogation indicate that on a number of occasions female interrogators used
their status as females to distract the subject of the second special interrogation
during the interrogation but there is nothing to corroborate the allegation of the
subject of the second special interrogation.
Organizational response: No disciplinary action taken.
Recommendation #19: The allegation should be closed.
Allegation: The subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan alleges
that in late summer of 2003 he was hit by guards and an interrogator “very
hard” and “with all their strength” he was hit “all over.”
Finding #20: The AR 15-6 was unable to corroborate the allegations to the point
of concluding that they had occurred by a preponderance of the evidence.
Discussion: The interrogation logs contain no reference to any physical
violence against the subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan. His
medical records indicate that in August 2003 the subject of the second special
interrogation reported “rib contusions” from an altercation with MPs when moved
between camps. During this examination the physician also noted an “edema of
the lower lip” and a “small laceration” on his head. There are no other medical
entries of any other physical injuries. There are no indications of swelling or
contusions to support a conclusion that the subject of the second special
interrogation was hit “very hard all over.”
Organizational response: No disciplinary action taken. The allegation was not
substantiated.
Recommendation #20: The allegation should be closed. There is no
evidence to support the subject of the second special interrogation’s
allegation of physical abuse.
Allegation: A DoD interrogator improperly impersonated a Navy Captain
assigned to the White House.
Finding #21: The Special Team Chief impersonated a USN Captain assigned to
the White House during interrogation of the subject of the second special
interrogation.
Technique: Authorized: This technique is permitted under FM 34-52 –
Deception.

Discussion: On 2 Aug 03 the Special Team Chief presented himself to the
subject of the second special interrogation dressed as a Captain in the USN and
indicated he was from the White House in an effort to convince the subject of the
second special interrogation that he needed to cooperate with his interrogators.
The Special Team Chief presented a letter to the subject of the second special
interrogation, which indicated that because of the subject of the second special
interrogation’s lack of cooperation, U.S. authorities in conjunction with authorities
from the country of origin of the subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan
would interrogate the mother of the subject of the second Special Interrogation
Plan. The letter further indicated that if his mother was uncooperative she would
be detained and transferred to U.S. custody at GTMO for long term detention.
While the JTF-GTMO Commander acknowledges that he was aware of the intent
by the interrogator to wear Captain’s rank and purport to be from the White
House, he stated that he was not aware of the intention to convey a threat or the
plan to use a fictitious letter.
Organizational response: None taken.
Recommendation #21: The allegation should be closed. No further action
necessary.
Allegation: That Military interrogators threatened the subject of the second
special interrogation and his family.
Finding #22: The Special Team Chief threatened the subject of the second
special interrogation and his family in July, August and September 2003.
Technique: Unauthorized: This technique was rejected by SECDEF on
Dec 2002

Discussion: During the interrogation of the subject of the second special
interrogation, a masked interrogator was used to interrogate the subject of the
second special interrogation 9. On 17 Jul 03 the masked interrogator told that he
had a dream about the subject of the second special interrogation dying.
Specifically he told the subject of the second special interrogation that in the
dream he “saw four detainees that were chained together at the feet. They dug a
hole that was six-feet long, six-feet deep, and four -feet wide. Then he observed
the detainees throw a plain, pine casket with the detainee’s identification number
painted in orange lowered into the ground.” The masked interrogator told the
detainee that his dream meant that he was never going to leave GTMO unless
he started to talk, that he would indeed die here from old age and be buried on
“Christian… sovereign American soil.” On 20 Jul 03 the masked interrogator, “Mr.

X”, told the subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan that his family was
“incarcerated.” On 2 Aug 03, the Special Team Chief, while impersonating a USN
Captain from the White House, told the subject of the second special
interrogation that he had a letter indicating that the subject of the second special
interrogation’s family had been captured by the United States and that they were
in danger. 10 He went on to tell the subject of the second special interrogation
that if he wanted to help his family he should tell them everything they wanted to
know. The MFR dated 02 Aug 03 indicates that the subject of the second special
interrogation had a messenger that day there to “deliver a message to him”. The
MFR goes on to state:
“That message was simple: Interrogator’s colleagues are sick of hearing
the same lies over and over and are seriously considering washing their
hands of him. Once they do so, he will disappear and never be heard from
again. Interrogator assured detainee again to use his imagination to think of
the worst possible scenario he could end up in. He told Detainee that
beatings and physical pain are not the worst thing in the world. After all, after
being beaten for a while, humans tend to disconnect the mind from the body
and make it through. However, there are worse things than physical pain.
Interrogator assured Detainee that, eventually, he will talk, because everyone
does. But until then, he will very soon disappear down a very dark hole. His
very existence will become erased. His electronic files will be deleted from
the computer, his paper files will be packed up and filed away, and his
existence will be forgotten by all. No one will know what happened to him
and, eventually, no one will care.”
Finally, interrogator MFRs dated 08 Sep 03 indicate that the subject of the
second special interrogation wanted to see “Captain Collins” and that they
“understood that detainee had made an important decision and that the
interrogator was anxious to hear what Detainee had to say. Detainee stated he
understood and will wait for interrogator’s [Captain Collins] return and that the
subject of the second Special Interrogation Plan “…was not willing to continue to
protect others to the detriment of himself and his family.”
In investigating the actions above, the AR 15-6 focused on the threat made by
the Special Team Chief.11 When questioned about the threats to the subject of
the second special interrogation, the Special Team Chief indicated that prior to
the “threat” to detainee the subject of the second special interrogation he cleared
the proposal and the letter with the senior judge advocate who approved the
technique as a “deception.” As written the letter does contain a threat to detain
the subject of the second special interrogation’s mother but does not contain any
threat on her life or that of her family. The SJA indicated in his initial interview
10

The actual content of the letter simply indicates that his mother will be taken into custody and
questioned.
11
Mr. X’s dream story does not rise to the level of a threat. It appears to be a staged prelude to
the direct threat made by the Special Team Chief.

that he did not recall the letter. He subsequently elected to exercise his Article
31 rights and declined to answer direct questions about the letter and the threats.
The Special Team Chief also indicated that both JIG Chiefs in charge during the
promulgation of the Special Interrogation Plan12 were also aware of the threat
letter. The first JIG Chief has retired and was unwilling to cooperate with this
investigation. The second JIG Chief indicated under oath that he was unaware
of the interrogation events discussed above. He recognizes, that read in
conjunction with each other, they indicate a threat. He believes that the
Commander of JTF-GTMO was not aware of the threat since the second JIG
Chief was not aware of the threat. The second JIG Chief stated that they had
weekly meetings with the Commander to discuss interrogations but they would
not have covered this level of detail in that meeting. Neither he nor the
Commander read interrogation MFRs on a regular basis. Finally, the
Commander denies any knowledge of the existence of the threat or the letter.
He does not recall ever discussing the issue of threats with the interrogators. He
is aware that this is a prohibited practice and would not have permitted it if he
had been aware of the plan.
Taken as a whole, it appears that the decision to threaten the subject of the
second Special Interrogation Plan was made by the Special Team Chief. He
claims that he cleared the plan with the senior judge advocate but not with his
supervisors. Considering the actual content of the letter, it is reasonable to
conclude that the JAG advised that the letter was a proper deception and
therefore additional approval was not required. The Special Team Chief knew
that under FM 34-52 deception did not require additional approval.
Despite the fact that the letter may be a proper deception technique under FM
34-52, the interrogation logs clearly indicate that the interrogation went well
beyond the “threat to detain” made in the letter, and in fact was a threat to the
subject of the second special interrogation and his family that violated the UCMJ,
Article 134 Communicating a threat.
Organizational Response: None taken.
Recommendation #22: While the threats do not rise to the level of torture
as defined under U.S. law, the facts support a conclusion that the Special
Team Chief violated the UCMJ, Article 134, by communicating a threat.
Recommend his current commander discipline the Special Team Chief.

The first JIG Chief was in charge during the approval process for the second Special Interrogation Plan
and then rotated out of JTF-GTMO. The second JIG Chief was in charge during the execution of the second

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The findings above fall into three categories: Techniques that were authorized
throughout the interrogation periods; techniques that were never authorized and
finally, techniques that were originally unauthorized, and then subsequently
authorized. The summary below only outlines the latter two categories of
techniques to address whether the findings violated the UCMJ, international law,
U.S. Law, regulations or directives.
Techniques that were never authorized: AR 15-6 determined the following
acts were NEVER authorized under any interrogation guidance:
a) On at least two occasions between February 2002 and February 2003,
two detainees were “short shackled” to the eye-bolt on the floor in the
interrogation room;
b) Sometime in October 2002 duct tape was used to “quiet” a detainee.
c) Military interrogators threatened the subject of the second special
interrogation and his family;
Techniques that became authorized after the fact: AR 15-6 determined the
following acts were initially not authorized under existing interrogation guidance
but later authorized as an approved technique.
a) On several occasions during 2002 and 2003, interrogators would adjust
the air conditioner to make the detainees, to include the subject of the first
Special Interrogation Plan, uncomfortable. This technique is now permitted
under the SECDEF 16 Apr 03 guidance.
b) On several occasions prior to 2 Dec 02 and between 15 Jan 03 and 16
Apr 03 interrogators had detainees moved from one cell to another every
few hours to disrupt sleep patterns and lower the ability to resist
interrogation. This technique is now permitted under the SECDEF 16 Apr
03 guidance.
c) In October 2002 a Military Working Dog was brought into the
interrogation room during the course of interrogation of the subject of the
first Special Interrogation Plan and directed to growl, bark, and show his
teeth at the detainee. This technique is subsequently approved for the
interrogation of the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan by
SECDEF on 12 Nov 02.
d) The subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan was separated from
other detainees in an isolation facility away from the general population
from 8 Aug 02 to 12 Nov 02. This technique was subsequently approved

UNCLASSIFIED
27

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
for the interrogation of the subject of the first Special Interrogation Plan by
SECDEF on 12 Nov 02.
In each of the incidents above the violations can best be characterized as
violations of policy. The SECDEF’s subsequent approval of each of the
techniques clearly establishes the ultimate legitimacy of that technique and thus
additional corrective action is not necessary.
Additional Matters: In addition to findings outlined above it is important to
document some additional findings:
a) The team found no evidence that any detainee at GTMO was improperly
documented or unaccounted for at any time. Every agency interviewee
clearly indicated that they never knew of any “ghost detainees” at GTMO;
b) Several past interrogators at GTMO declined to be interviewed. In the
case of personnel who are currently in a civilian status we had extremely
limited authority to compel the individuals to cooperate with this
investigation; of particular note was former SGT Erik Saar who has written
a book into “activities” at GTMO. Despite repeated requests he declined
to be interviewed;
c) During the course of this investigation, JTF-GTMO CG investigated and
took action for personal misconduct of senior DoD personnel on GTMO.
These allegations were reviewed and it was determined that they were not
relevant to this investigation, and did not rise to a level to suggest a
leadership environment with any impact on interrogation or detainee
operations.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
This AR15-6 recommends consideration of the following:
a) Recommendation #23 Recommend a policy-level review and
determination of the status and treatment of all detainees, when not
classified as EPWs. This review needs to particularly focus on the
definitions of humane treatment, military necessity, and proper
employment of interrogation techniques. (e.g. boundaries or extremes);
b) Recommendation #24 Recommend study of the DoD authorized
interrogation techniques to establish a framework for evaluating their
cumulative impact in relation to the obligation to treat detainees humanely;

UNCLASSIFIED
28

UNCLASS
1 Apr 05 (Amended 9 Jun 05)
c) Recommendation #25 Recommend a reevaluation of the DoD and Interagency interrogation training consistent with the new realities of the
requirements of the global war on terror;
d) Recommendation #26 Recommend a policy-level determination on role
of Military Police in “setting the conditions” for intelligence gathering and
interrogation of detainees at both the tactical level and strategic level
facilities;
e) Recommendation #27 Recommend an Inter-Agency policy review to
establish “standards” for interrogations when multiple agencies and
interrogation objectives are involved. Particular emphasis should be
placed on setting policy for who has priority as the lead agency, the
specific boundaries for the autho rized techniques in cases with multiple
agencies involved, a central “data-base” for all intelligence gathered at a
detention facility, and procedures for record keeping to include historical,
litigation support, lessons learned, and successful/unsuccessful
intelligence gathering techniques.

affect how operations are conducted in this vital part of Operation Enduring Freedom. You must be
aware that your activities and actions are often directed by or reported to the highest levels of
government. Also, agencies such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), foreign
delegations, and the world media keenly watch how this operation is conducted and how (b)(2)

are handled. It is vital to JTF-GTMO that all Soldiers, Sailors, Ainnen, Marines and Civilians
conduct themselves in a manner that reflects well on the legal principles America is founded upon.

SUMMARIZED WITNESS STATEMENT OFI(b)(6)

inappropriate use-of duct tape, impersonation of or interference with FBI agents, inappropriate use of
loud music andlor yelling, sleep deprivation, short-shackling, inappropriate use of extreme temperatures
during interrogation, and inappropriate use of sexual tension as an interrogation technique, to inchide use

to be used for the interrogation. If the plan doesn't involve techniques requiring additional approval, as
detailed in the 16 April 2003 S,ECDEF Memo, it is approved by the I(.:E Chief. If the approaches require
additional approval, the interrogation plan is forwarded to me for review and if necessary, notification is
sent to SECDEF. If a response not received within 7 days, I instruct the interrogation team to proceed
with the implementation of the approach.

I have personal knowledge of the following:
I graduated from the 97E course at Fort Huachuca in 1992. Prior to deploying to ITF-GlMO, I
completed a three-week "refresher course" at Fort Huachuca called "Tiger Team University."
Tiger Team UniverSity was split into two phases. The first phase, which was one week long,
provided an overview of the Arabic culture and the Islamic terrorist network. The second phase,
which lasted two weeks, was intended to provided the interrogators with specific scenarios and
reinforce the approaches that were both approved and successful JTF-GTMO. Several ofthe
instructors at Tiger Team University had personal experience interrogating detainees at JTFGTMO.
I heard about the use of female interrogators encroaching on a detainee's personal space while
attending Tiger Team University. A fonner JTF-GlMO instructor described bow a "SGT

interrogations couldn't hurt the detainee's ears. Yelling was a technique used in implementing
the "Fear Up Harsh" approach. The use of yelling was taught during the basic 97E course at Fort

Huachuca.
I did not observe sleep deprivation used by interrogators..When I first arrived in GTMO, the
standing rule was a detainee couldn't be interrolZated for ·'more than 20 hours in a row." MG

I was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO) from Febnwy 2003 to January 2004.

inappropriate use of duct tape. impersonation of or interference with FBI agents, inappropriate use of
loud music and/or yelling, sleep deprivation. short-sbackling, inappropriate use of extreme temperatures
during interrogation, and inappropriate use ~f sexual tension as an interrogation technique, to include use
of lap dances and simulated m~qstnJal fluids.
I have persooal knowledge ofthe following:
I am not aware of any militaJy worldng dogs that were used in an iotenogation. We had a dog outside
the pumpkin patch, 1he area where new detainees are held. It was outside the reception area.
I was aware of SFCI(b)(6). limpersonating a Department ofState ropresc:atative. He was part ofthc
special projects team and would have been approved at the no level, that would have to be approved.
I did wimcss the use of music and strobe lights in interrogatiODS. The civilian contraetor interrogators
would use this teclm!que as part of a "Fear Up" approach in April or May 2003. We tol~ them to stop it
after Abu Ghraib came oul
.
. ~
.
I am not aware of short shackling being used in an interrogation. The detainee might be left in the booth
for an extended period of time after interrogations awaiting MPs. lbe short chain was done as a control
measure. The chain was close to the floor. The detainee was chained with his wrist close to the floor.
The interrogator would ask the MPs to put the detaiDec in that position. Where I saw that. I can't
remember if a chair was in the room. As far as I Jcnow, everything was in the boundaries.

J am familiar with an incident when SSG I(b) (6) Iand SOT IilillID1 used sexual contact to distract a
detainee. Both were told not to use the technique again and I believe SSGKb )(6) ~ived a written
letter of admonishment. Additionally J am familiar with the "magic market" incident The d_ee spat
in SGTl{l:»(6) ~ face. She was crying outside the booth and she developed a plan to psycholo8ically get
back at him. This tcchniquewas not in an approved interrogation plan. She touched the detainee on bis
shoulder, showed him the red ink on her hand and said by the way, I ~ ~ting. The guy threw
himself on the floor and started to bang his head because he was so freaked out by the ink.

.

I am not aware of sleep deprivation being used against detainees. IntClTogators had to get approval for up
to 15 boursa,day. TberuJesGeneral Miller set were 14 hours with five bours ofUnintenupteds)eep.
Sleep interruption was done by the interrogators at night. was quite labor-intensive, and was not
practical. It was something in the toolbox.

SUMMARIZED 'WITNESS STATEMENT OF Lt

Control Element (ICE) Chief, who was interviewed on 22 March 2005 at his home in
Alabama.

eoi

I was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GlMO) on or about the first week of
December 2002 and re-deployed at the end ofJune 2003. I was the Interrogation Control
Element (ICE) Chief.
During the course ofthe interview I was aslced about what I knew about detainee ~use at
Guan~. I was specifically asked about the following acts: Inappropriate uSe of
military worldng dogs, inappropriate use ofduct ta~ impersonation ofor intetference
with FBI agents, inappropriate use ofloud music and/or yelling, sleep deprivation, shortshackling, inappropriate use of extreme technique, to include the use oflap dances and
simulated menstrual fluids.

I have personal knowledge ofthe following:
1t was i?illdC1Standing that prior to SECDEF approval of the Special InteImgation Plan
for ISN b ("m early December 2002), the guidance for interrogation procedures was
Field Manual 34-52. .
\(b)(6)

\

When 1 arrived at GlMO, I(b )(6)
] my predecessor, arranged for. SERE instructors
to teach their techniques to the interrogators at GTMO. 1he instructors did give some
briefings to the Joint Interrogation Group (nO) interrogators. MGMiller and I didn't
believe the techniques were appropriate for the IIF-GlMO mission.

I never heard ofany interrogators on my watch impersonating FBI agents. I do mow that
an intenogator, "LT\(b)(6)
Ion the Middle Eastern Team, impersonated a Depar1plent
of State agent prior to my arrival at GTMO. I would not ~ve had a problem with an
interrogator impersoriating any federal agency.
'".

"

Loud lllusic was used during selected interrogations. The rule on volume was that it
sbould..Dot be so loud that it would blow the detainee's ears out.

Yelling was also used on occasion during interrogations. Like music, the volwne was
never too loud, just a raised voice.
.
There were times that interrogators adjusted the air conditioner in an attempt to make the
interrogation booth cold. It wasn't like the booth was a "snow stonn" but it was cool.
The temperature depended on the cooperation of the detainee. It was a technique used to
make the detainee uncomfortable. I don't believe this would be in an interro~ation plan.

SUMMARIZED WITNESS STATE.MENT OF MG (RETIRED) MIKE
DUNLAVEY
MG Mike Dunlavey, FORMER COMMANDER, JTF-170, was interviewed and made
the following statement on or about 1007 hours, 17 March 2005, at WFO, Arlington, VA:
Appointment memos were shown to this witness. The witness went over the allegations.
Witness sworn 'by LtGen Schmidt. The witness provided the following testimony:

BACKGROUND:
How I became the JTF-170 Commander? I was working at the National Security
Agency. On 14 February 2002, I was contacted to meet with the SECDEF. I received a
joint service billet description. I met with the SECDEF on the 20th or 21st of February
2002, along with the Deputy SECDEF, Wolferwitz and a number of other personnel.
The SECDEF told me that DoD had accumulated a number of bad guys. He wanted to
set up interrogation operations and to identify the senior Taliban and senior operatives
and to obtain information on what they were going to do regarding their operations and
structure.
The SECDEF said he wanted a product and he wanted intelligence now. He told me
what he wanted; not how to do it.
Initially, I was told that I would answer to the SECDEF and uSSOurnCOM. I did not
have to deal with USCENTCOM. Their mission had nothing to do with my mission.
Everything had to go up to USSOU11iCOM then to JCS. The directions changed and I
got my marching orders from the President of the United States. I was told by the
SECDEF that he wanted me back in Washington DC every week to brief him.
I have 35 years of Intelligence experience. I am a trial lawyer and between interrogations
in Vietnam, being a CI Commander, and as a trial lawyer. I have done over 3,000
interrogations. The SECDEF needed a common sense way on bow to do business.
The mission was to get intelligence to prevent another 9/11.

GTMO Situation:
Mike Lehnert did a miraculous job of getting Camp X-ray set up.
When I got to GTMO the facility consisted of literally a dangling fence. Detainees were
right next to one another. In the Seabee hut for example, everyone saw who was being
interrogated.

ABUSE ALLEGATIONS:
I would show up unannounced to see what was going on in the interrogations. Someone
being out of line is very possible. I won't equate it to NYPD Blue. There were situations
where a guy would urinate or jack off on a female interrogator. He did it to offend her. I
would not allow them to use religion as a shield. The detainees threw feces at the guards.

An Article 15 was given to a guard for hosing down a detainee. The detainee threw a
bucket of urine on him.
If something was going wrong, the climate in the command was comfortable for self reporting.
We all knew the rules; and we followed them period.

I fell on my sword for the guy that was 100 years old. He was 90 to 105 years old and in

in one piece. There were two other guys in their 70s to 80s. One was a cab driver that
took Al Qaeda to the border. We got him out of there in October. We released 211
detainees. Only AI Qaeda reponed abuses. None were abused. If a: guy had information,
we would focus on him.
The duct tape incident, I remember that. It was in June or July 2002. I did an internal
investigation. They sat and screamed at us. I think the MPs helped the interrogators. I
don't know if the guard was directed to restrain the detainee from doing something
As a judge if they screamed in court. I would tape them to a chair and tape their mouths.
In a legitimate detainee facility, you would do it. If we did not, they would do it.
The detainees were ~ated humanely. They had a high status of care. they were not
EPWs. They refused to identify themselves. On the postcards they gave us the wrong
name.
Humane is who we are as the American military.
My fIrst lesson was in Vietnam. I went out in the fIeld and the South Vietnamese had
two POWs. They got screamed at and kicked around. I watched what was going on. I
was a graduate of DLA. There was a big plate of boiled rice with flies on it. I asked one
ofPOWs when he had last eaten. He said, "four days ago and water two days ago".
They chained him to a .50 cal and said he would kill him if he ran away. I had a canteen.

The dogs were under control of the MP handler. They would have the dogs look at the

my attention, I probably would have approved it. We did not use e ogs on the
pnsoners.
Keep in mind, they don't like dogs. Unless the dogs are on patrol, they would be in an
interrogation room. Using dogs is equal to the Fear Up technique. It breaks their
concentration in their response to the interrogation techniques. They would be thinking
about that dog. Is the dog a real threat? Absolutely not.

We physically removed an FBI agent when he went across the desk at a detainee. It
happened in my fIrst three months. He was a big kind of guy. The detainee said
something like he knows his family and that he was going to kill them. I think it
happened during my tenure.
FBI impersonation? No, not on a normal course of business. We did not identify who
people where. The names and rank were covered. The FBI wore polo shirts and their
badge. The CITF did the same thing. It was part of the deception technique. Maybe
there was a complaint. I never knew or heard about it. Would CITF and FBI act as
DoD? It could have been a technique.

They did not brief 000. eITF was going in without telling us. Every IP had to
coordinated for facilities and linguists.
Loud music and yelling was part of a sequence of events to disrupt the detainees thought
process.
Chaining the detainee in a fetal position is not a normal procedure to be used in
interrogation. If the detainee leaped at an interrogator, it might have been used for
security. It is not a normal procedure. The interrogators were instructed not to touch the
detainees. They were to leave it to the guards.
If short shackled, the detainee had done an offensive action.

Food and water deprivation I find incredibly hard to believe. BG Baccus would not have
tolerated that. Short rations were a disciplinary process. ICRC was there everyday. The
Chaplain was there everyday. The average detainee gained 16 pounds. They got medical
attention everyday.
The detainees went on a hunger strike. When weight metabolism decreased they went
down to the medical facility. They bad to give the detainees forcible IVs. They wanted
Ensure. We made ajoke about it.
There was no lap dan~e or rubbing up on detainees. There is no doubt the interrogators
took off their BDU tops. They wanted to be comfortable. The hardcore detainees did not
respond to women. They would not look at women. I did not approve it under any
circumstances. It was stupid and offensive under the Geneva Conventions. It does not
serve any useful purpose. If that occurred, I want to see the FBI report.
Red ink used as menstrual fluid? I've never beard of that technique. It would disrupt the
intelligence and prosecution gathering operations.
Ghost detainees ...every person that landed on the island was processed through the MP
cycle.
11F-I60 was in disarray when I took over. They had 60 outstanding Inspector General
complaints. We tried to clean up as much as we could before MG Miller came.
11F-170 served two Article 15s to two individuals for personal misconduct. It was not
detainee related.

who was interviewed on 24 March 2005 at a conference room in
LCDR
the Hilton Hotel located at the O'Hare Airport, Chicago, Winois. Also present was
legal representative (Navy Lieutenant). The follow-on interview took
place telephonically on 14 April 16, 2005 at 1254 hours. His combined statement was
substantially as follows:
I arrived at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO) on or about 13 December 2002. I was
deployed !tOm European Command (EUCOM) on temporary duty status to act as the
Liaison Officer for EUCOM. While acting as the LNO for EUCOM I observed some
interrogations and even reviewed documents conceming_ however I did not
actively participate in interrogations or conversations concerning interrogation
procedures. On or about 28 June 2003, I was released from my obligations to EUCOM
and placed in the capacity of Special Projects Team Chief for Joint Task Force GlMO
(J1F-GTMO). I held that position until I re-deployed on 24 September 2003.
During the course of the interview I was asked about what I knew about detainee abuse at
Guantanamo. 1 was specifically asked about the following acts: Inappropriate use of
military working dogs, inappropriate use of duct tape, impersonation of or interference
with FBI agents, inappropriate use of loud music and/or yelling, sleep deprivation, shortshackling, inappropriate use of extreme temperatures during interrogation, and
inappropriate use of sexual tension as an interrogation teChnique, to inc:lude use of lap
dances and simulatea menstrual fluids.
I have personal knowledge of the following:

The only time I recall a miliwv working dog (MWD) near a detainee was in the
At no time was a MWD used during any
movement operations for _
interrogations o f "

I can say with cenainty that none of my interrogators impersonated FBI agents during
their interrogations because to do so would have been counterproductive. The mission
. for the J1F-GTMO interrogators was obtaining actionable intelligence from the detainee.
Most of the detainees assigned to the Special Project Team were very intelligent, EnglisbspeakIng men who were educated (at least partially) in the Urnted States of America and
understood our criminal justice operation. The detainees knew the FBI repres~!1ted the
law enforcement community. M a branch oflaw enforccmcnt, the dctaince's knew tbat
the FBI had the power to incarcerate them for years. With the above being said, it wasn't
shockmg to learn that the detainees did not like opening up to the FBI. Therefore, it
would have been stupid for me to encourage my interrogators to impersonate FBI agents.
I did authorize a couple of my interrogators

_

to impersonate Department of State agents during a few interrogations of ISN

760. The impersonation approach implemented by the interrogators was approved.

My team never used "music" as an interrogation technique. However I know that musIc
was used as a technique by some of the other teams (however even the other teams
started to use the technique less and less over time).
Yelling was a common tool used during interrogations. Why not! My interrogators (on
the Special Projects Team) didn't yell to the point oflosing their cool, but they would
raise their voice if the detainee was being an obstinate ass. Yelling was never used to
obtain information - it was a means to make a point.
One of ~ ~ey components of the new parameters was the restriction of interrogation
sessions to 15 hours. The detainee was allowed 5 hours of uninteaupted sleep.
Therefore, interrogations o f . were limited to no more than 15 hours. I can't
remember any interrogator setting up a IS-hour interrogation.
I never witnessed a detainee being "short shackled." However I do recall reading MFRs
that described the practice (I can't recall the detainee, but it was sometime in December
2(02). I made a mental note of the practice for two reasons: FU'Sl, the use of stress
positions. in an interrogation, isn't an effective approach for obtaining reliable
information. Second, the MFRs were blunt and I feared that if "folks" not OD the "team"
read the reports that the contents could either be misconstnJed or make the interrogators
look bad (if taken in context). In fact, I even asked the interrogators about the practice
and counseled him about stress positions and drafting MFRs.
As head of the Special Projects Team I was the supervisor for the implementation of the
Special Interrogation Plan for

I also posed as a White House representative (counsel to the President). I was a "Navy

During the course of the interview I was asked about what I knew about detainee abuse at
Guantanamo. I was specifically asked about the following acts: Inappropriate use of military
working dogs, inappropriate use of duct tape, impersonation of or inteiferencc with FBI agents,
inappropriate use of loud music andlor yelling, sleep deprivation, short-shackling, inappropriate
use of extreme temperatures during interrogation, and inappropriate use of sexual tension as an

I have personal knowledge of the following:
J'~ m i l l _ o 'dog (MWD) was brought into the interrogation booth of a high value
.
detainee
n or about October 2002. The MWD was brought to the entrance of the
interrogatIon·
by the dog's handler and directed to bark and growl at the detainee. The use
,.of a MWD in an interrogation was unusual; and therefore, was mentioned in the interro~.
plan submitted to the J1F-170th Commander. Once approved, the interrogation plan fo~
was implemented. The use of a MWD was one of many techniques approved and executed
( during the interrogation cycle. It is important to note that theMWD was not ordered to attack or
harm the detainee. The MWD was only used as a means to intimidate the detainee..

Xl .

Wl....u.l read the redacted Federal Bureau of Investigation documents on the ACLU website (the
documents provided to the ACLU as part of a Freedom of Information Act request), I remember
coming across the statements regarding "duct tape" and thinking the statements ,,!~re.about me. I
recall, very vividly an incident involving duct tape that occurred during November 2002 and I am
glad I have the opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding the incident.

'.'"

There was one time when I directed a couple of MPs to keep a detainee quite in the interrogation
booth. I did not direct the MPs to use duct tape as an interrogation technique nor would I ever
direct a guard or an interrogator to use duct tape as part of a formal interrogation. I authorized
the use of duct tape as a control measure - to prevent a detainee from inciting a riot. After an
interrogation session was complete (I was not involved in the session), the detainee began to yell
(in Arabic): "Resist, Resist with all your might..." I stepped out of my office when I heard the
commotion and walked to the interrogation booth where the yelling was coming from. When I
arrived at the booth, I saw a detainee screaming and an interrogator, translator and a COUDle of

guards standing there frozen. The soldiers didn't know what to do so I directed the MPs to keep
the detainee quite. One of the MPs mentioned he had duct tape. After a consultation with the
Joint Interrogation Group (nG) Chief, I approved the MP's use of duct as a means to keep the
detainee quite. The MPs placed a single strand of duct tape across the detainee's mouth. The
single strand proved ineffective because the detainee was soon yelling the same resistance slogan
again. 'Ibis time the MPs wrapped a single strand of duct tape around the mouth a&9ef18 'of the
detainee. The detainee removed the duct tape again. Feed up and concerned that the detainee's
yelling might cause a riot in the interrogation trailer (there were at least eight other interrogations
occurring at this time), I ordered the MPs to wrap the duet tap twice around the bead and mouth
and three tina under the chin and around the top of the detainee's bead. Just as the ~s were
finished wrapping the duct tape around the detainee's head. an FBI special agent appeared in'the
hallway. Without inquiring why the detainee's bead was wrapped in duct tape. the special agent
exclaimed that be wasn't going to stand by and witness this type of abuse and stormed out of the
trailer. Later that day I received a call from Major General (MG) Miller asking for my presence
in his office. When I arrived, MG Miller "chewed me out." I never received a formal reprimand
or any other type of punishment, but it wasn't necessary. MG Miller's conversation with me was
sufficient to get the point across: even if the reason for using the duct tape was valid, it was not
the interrogation section's jurisdiction to direct the guards to act. The guards were not under my
control and I was not to order them to act again.
A formal investigation was never conducted regarding the "duct tape" incident and an
investigation wasn't necessary. I admitted that I directed the use of duct tape and MG Miller told
me not to do it again.
I never instructed or authorized the impersonation of FBI agents as part of an approved
.
.
However I do remember when an interrogator (I believe the interrogator was
me he impersonated an FBI agent during an interrogation. I immediately
t the impersonation of any government agent was authorized and that be
was to
in
approach. In fact, I even held a "town hall" meeting and told the
interrogators that impersonation of non military US governmental officials was prohibited (this
"town hall" meeting occurred before MG Miller took over command of rIF·GlMO). For the
record, I do~'t believe the impersonation of FBI agents is against the law or violates any other
standing interrogation policy.
The use of loud music and yelling was used during the intenogation of certain high value
detainees. However the techniques were not "stand alone" techniques. The techniques were
always wrapped up in other approaches (i.e. Fear Up Harsh) and would be enumerated in the
interrogation plans sent to MG Dunlavey or Miller for approval.
I define "sleep deprivation" as keeping a detainee awake continuously for five or six day's
straight. Based on my definition of sleep deprivation, I never authorized or witnessed the use of
·'sleep deprivation" in an interroga ion session or approved interro ation
. I recalJ having a ,

sleep betwee~ interrogation sessions. We came to that Dumber after reading about the United

States Army Ranger Course. During the Ranger Course, our soldiers are subjected to rwentyhour days and are apparently only required to have four hours of sleep. If it was okay to subject
our soldiers to twenty-hour days, then in our mind's it was okay to subject the terrorist to twentyhour interrogations. If a detainee were kept awake for 5 days straight - that would be sleep
deprivation.
-::--~-

As the ICE Chief I was never part of any interrogations. However it was my responsibility to
monitor the interrogators and interrogation sessions. I would periodically monitor interrogations
to watch my interrogators in action. During one of my monitoring sessions, I noticed that an
interrogator bad left the air conditioner "cranked down" to 60 degrees and left the det~ee alone
in the interrogation booth.

I can only remember directing a femaliiflintor to touch a detainee one time. The
I
interrogator, I believe her name was
was having difficulty inteIrogating a detainee. !A
Specifically, the detainee refused to s op praying during the interrogation session (i.e. the
detainee would stare at the flooriliEd
s ft) bant passages from the Koran). After an especially
frusttating
session,
d a native translator approached me with a. .".i
difficult and
suggestion to break the detainee'
·on. 1be plan was simple. According to the native
translator, devote Muslims cannot continue to pray if they are "unclean." Therefore, if the
detainee were made "unclean" he would have to stop praying. One w i i l t o
a Muslim male
unclean is to be touched by a female. B a s e d
.s_lan,
n I instnlcted
0 purchase ~
cheap perfume at the PX (rose oil). When
turned with
0 , instIUcted ber
to put the perfume on her hands and rub her
0 r the detainee's arms. The plan worked just
as anticipated. T h e . e e
t pped praying. However the detainee became violent and
attempted to attack
In the process, the detainee hit bis mouth on the chair and
chipped his tooth. .
ee was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.

Many of the "aggressive" interrogation techniques we
requested during October 2002 was a direct result of the pressure we t om
obtain intelligence and the lack of policy guidance being issued by Washington.

Mr..-

I was originally assigned to GTMO from 25 June 2002 to August 2002. I was then re-deployed
to GTMO for a two-year tour from August 2003 to May 2005. During my first deployment I was
working as a Special Agent for the FBI and I am currently the Supervisory Special Agent in
Charge for FBI operations at OlMO.
During the course of the interview I was asked about what I knew about detainee abuse at
Guantanarno. I was specifically asked about the following acts: Inappropriate use of military
working dogs, inappropriate use of duct tape, impersonation ofor interference with FBI agents,
inappropriate use of loud music and/or yelling, sleep deprivation, short-shackling, inappropriate
use of extreme temperatures during interrogation, and inappropriate use of sexual tension as an
interrogation technique, to include use of lap dances and simulated menstrual fluids.

if'.·;,

I have personal knowledge of the following:
The FBI conducts separate interviews from the Joint Interrogation Element (nO) interrogators at
GTMO. There are times when we will conduct interviews with the Criminal Investigation Task
Force since we have similar law enforcement missions.

....'

~ know ~<

a memt>c:r of the S~cial Projects Team, posed as an FBI agent during an
mterrogatlon. Other agents mennoned that mterr~llators from other agencies also posed as FBI
and he said it wouldn't J 6
agents. I discussed the "impersonation issue" wi~
happen again without FBI approval. It was not an aggravated event and it was handled on the
ground level. You could ask 500 agents and 400 would tell you that they posed as other people
during interviews. It just requires prior coordination. The handling of this situation was an
example of proper inter-agency coordination and cooperation.

!

L

It is my understanding that short shackling was authorized. I have never personally seen it done.

interrogation sessions, it became clear to me that the military interrogators were using more
aggressive interrogation approaches than the FBI. In fact, durin~e interrogation session,
Agent_ and I witnessed a dog inside the room where ISN. was being interrogated.
Once inside the room, the dog was ordered to growl and show teeth at the detainee.

When I arrived at the interrogation room, I observed six or seven soldiers (or persons I believed
were soldiers) laughing and pointing at something inside the room. When I looked inside the
room I noticed a detain~s entire head covered in duct tape (except for his eyes and
maybe mouth). I asked_why the detainee's head was covered with duct tape?_
stated because he (the d . ') refused to stop "chanting the Koran" during an int..e_rrogation
session. When I asked
how he planned to take the tape off without hurting the detainee

I recall observing two interrogations when the detainee appeared to be short shackled. The first
incident caught my attention because I heard loud yelling emanating from an interrogation room.
The voice I heard was speaking English and was yelling in an abusive manner. As I approached
the interrogation room, I heard a thump. I observed a detainee short shackled (hands shackled to

inappropriate use of sexual tension as an interrogation technique, to include use of lap
dances and simulated menstrual fluids.

I have personal knowledge of the following:

I would like to say at the outset of this interview that I am proud of the soldiers of Joint
Task Force GTMO (JTF-GTMO) and the job we did under the most trying of
circumstances.
I never reviewed a plan authorizing the use of military working dogs (MwD) dwing
interrogations. I personally observed between three and four hundred interrogations and I
never witnessed the use of a MWD. The MWDs are controlled and used by the Joint .
Detention Operations Group (1Doo). Therefore, authorization for the use ofMWDs
during an interrogation session would need the J'IF-GTMO Commander's approval (or
Major General Dunlavey's approval during the brief time period in October 2002 when
he was in command of both JTF-170lh and JTF-l60lb

I am aware of one incident when duct tape was used during an interrogation. However
the duct tape was not used as an interro~; instead the tape was used as a
force protection measure. According t ~ directed the guards present at
one of the interrogation rooms to duciiiiEta

whether the detainee suffered any pain when the ta~removed or exactly how mue
duct tape was used). After our conversation, I told~t the use of duct tape was n
an approved teclmique and never do it (duct tape a detainee's mouth) again. That was
extent of the "investigation" and the command response ~on't do that again."

involved was removed from conducting interrogations for thirty days, re-train~ 4!!1~returned to the fight (purely an administrative action and punishment). It is important to
note: the female interrogator's actions/technique was not approved prior to

I am unllW8I'C of any instances of "short shackling." When we first spoke I stated J was
unaware of the practice being used in interrogatioD and I am still unaware that the
practice was used (other than hearing about the practice in this investigation and the

....

Church investigation).
The SECDEF approved twenty-hour interrogations with four hours of sleep for certain
high value detainees. I was involved in submittin the
est for additional techniques
uest:
in October 2002. Within that

Yelling was a v~d interrogation technique that was used by our interrogators to obtain
information.
Initially I believe interrogators would adjust the air conditioner in the interrogation
.
rooms. MG Miller found out about this practice and directed the interrogators to stop the
practice. I am not sure when this was exactly.

SUMMARIZED WITNESS STATEMENT OF MA

His statement was substantially as follows:

I was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO) from July to December 2002.
During the course of the interview I was asked about ~t I knew about de~ee abuse ~~
Guantanamo. Iwas specifically asked about the followmg acts: Inappropnate ~ of IWlltary
working dogs, inappropriate use of duct ta~, impersonati~n~f or interfercnce.W1~FBI age~ts.
inappropriate-itSe of loud music and/or yellmg, sleep depnvauon, short-shacklmg, ma~propnate
use of extreme temperatures during interrogation., and inappropriate usc of sexual tensIon as an
interrogation technique, to include use of lap dances and simulated menstrual fluids.

NovemberlDecember timeframe of 2002. We were told the usc of dogs was an approved part 0
the interrogation plan. Dogs were used to intimidate the detainee by getting the dogs close to
him and then having the dogs bark or act aggressively on command. I never saw a dog allowed
to bite or otherwise injure a detainee. I never saw dogs used except in the interrogation of this
sole detainee. One dog that was used regularly for this was a dog named, "Zcus". I do not recall
the name of the handler.

It was common to observe and hear about military interrogators "yelling" at detainee's d .

interrogations. ~wever I only saw loud music used in the inteII'ogation sessions 0
t e
uring those interrogations, loud music was commonly employed and was used wi
framework of the interrogation plan designed to confuse, disorient, and overwhelm the defenses
of this detainee.

exuil tension was one of many interrogation procedures approved for use in interrogations of
detainees (if approved in the interrogation plan). One example of sexual tension: an interrogator
rubbing against a detainee. It was felt that this sort of shocking behavior and might "rattle" the
detainee. It would be culturally taboo, disrespectful, humiliating, and potentially unexpected. I
did see female interrogators use scented perfumes or oils on their fmgertips so that when the
interrogator touc~ed a ~etainee ~at the oil or scent would be hard to wash off. It was hoped,
would be frustratmg, disconcertmg, embarrassmg to the detainee. It was done again to enforce a
commonly used "futility approach".

SUMMARIZED WITNESS STATEMENT OF MAJOR GENERAL GEOFFREY D.
MILLER
MG Miller was interviewed on 18 March 2005 at WFO, Arlington, Virginia. The witness
was swom by LtGen Sclunidt His statement was substantially as follows:
I was the Commanding General for the Joint Task Force, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from 4
November 2002 to 26 March 2004.
My overall responsibility was interrogation and detention at Guatanamo Bay. Cuba. JTF160 was sct"up for detention and JTF-170 was set up for interrogation. My task was to
integrate them so that they. were in synchronization. USSOUTHCOM wanted to improve
intelligence and detention. I was told to fix it It was broken. I did not perceive that I
worked for the SECDEF. General Dunlavey and I had four days ofoverlap. We had a
change ov« from 4-9 November 2002. We did not have a conversation about whether he
had authority beyond GTMO. JTF-180 in Afghanistan was not in my command
relationship. It was a coordination and information relationship. The dctainccs did come
from JTF-180. Detainees and interrogators all came through ITF-180. There were no
detainees that came from IRAQ or Operation IRAQI FREEDOM when I was there.
The command climate at GTMO was dysfunctional when I arrived. There were two
separate organizations with semor leadership that was at odds with each oth« regarding
bow they would integrate their missions. My first job was putting that together. The
leadership had a single mission focus that was separate. Single unit disparity did not
allow the units to ~ successful. There was no abuse or torture going on. The
organization was not worlcing together efficiently. It did not affect the detainees. SOPs
needed to be updated. The basic standard was going on. The detainees were treated in a
hmnane mann«.
I did receive FM 34-52. The additional techniques that werercquested went up to
GEN Hill. I was uncomfortable with Category Ill. I was not comfortable using Category
ill techniques in interrogations. We w«e going towards incentives. Category.m would
not help devdop intelligence rapidly and effectively from the dctainecs there. I did not
intend to.usc them. They were approved, but not directed. I had the latitude to use them.
It was an order that came down through the SECDEF. I did not question them about not
using the teclmiques in interrogation. They wanted to do aggressive teclmiques. Special
IntetTOgQ.tion Plans (IPs) had to be done in detail and sent to a higher authority. The
purpose-ofthe techniques was to support the nation's effort. There were two Special IPs;
they were enormous documents. The IPs were the way to set standards. Everyone
understood where the limits were.
Hovnontrolling was I? I'll be frank with you, when you put an organiZation together
you say here are the new standards. Some thought they were more aggressive. I would
state how to do and what to do. It is part of team building for success. You win the
battle one day at a time. Senior leadership got on board right away. That is why GEN
Hill asked me to come down to GTMO.

We had incidences of good faith mistakes. We stopped them. I would do a
Commander's Inquiry and corrective action was done on an interrogator. Retraining was
done. The interrogator would go back under the supervisor and then interrogate again. A
junior interrogator needed oversight It was a handful of occurrences. The occurrences
did not rise to torture, maltreatment, or inhumane treatment I bad an interrogator that
exceeded the bounds. It was a female interrogator who took offher BDU shirt and
inappropriately rubbed on the detainee. The female robbing was brought to my attention
by a contract interrogator. We pulled her out We found she did aoss boundaries. She
was given an administrative Letter ofReprimand and retained her. One incident, the
interrogatorasked the MP to help in an interrogation and the MP was actively involved. I
got it fixed. We continued to refine the policy. We built the SOPs. It was a continuously
evolving operation. We bad a weekly meeting that had enonnous leadership involvement
about staying within standards. Whoever violated the standards received appropriate
action. In another incident an MP could not control his temper. He struck a detainee. He
was a pretty good soldier..It occurred in the cell bloclc. The standards were well known.
If any standards were violated, appropriate action would be taken.· When a mistake was
made we took appropriate action.
The detainees are ruthless, murderous people. We had to teach interrogators and MPs not
to hate. I spent a lot oftime with the chain of command and how to control them
professionally. We had to talk about this to all interrogatolS.
There was a high leader touch. We had to lead the led. I was down there engaged at the
Camp. I spent enormous amount of time going through the cell block. It was difficult
.keeping that balance. We had weekly meetings. The lawyer went over the standards.
The lawyer would tell the in , _..... .,:: at ifyou cross the line call me. It got to be a

A direct line to him would intenupt his comman • I, ty was very clear ofmy chain
of command. I talked to OSD almost every day. There was lots of talk. I understood for
whom I worked for. I had informal conversations with OSD. I sent a report to
DEPSECDEF through uSSOurnCOM.
I have known General Hill for 20 years. If I had a problem, I would call him. We talked
once or twice a week. I got guidance and all the support I needed.
Theoontiici:olS probably made up roughly 50% of the personnel. There were a higher
number of contract analysts that supported the' interrogation mission. 1 gave the same
talk to the contract analyst, their supervisor, and contract inteaogatolS. I told them they
were soldiers without the uniform.

The FBI was at the established weekly meeting. I had an FBI agent come down. They
had opportunity to come to the meeting every week. We had a meeting and I gave the
FBI Special Agent (SA) an hour. I told him it was anything he wanted to talk about
They had a different perspective. They had a law enforcement perspective. There was
significant friction between th1!!!EITF on how interrogations were done. It
was the first one and then SS

I am not ali-bxpert on detention or interrogation. I spent an enormous amount oftime to
help me Wlderstand how I.can do this business better. I had a talk with every leader, ..
CITF, FBI and the JTF and told them that they would follow the standards. We would
come in on occasion and look at iDterrogations.

Nothing placed me in a compromising situation.
There was an interrogation SOP in place when I got there. I split the flO, ICE, and J2.
They were coWlterprociuctive. h was the most dysfunctional I've ever seen. I could not

What humane treatment means to me are adequate food, sheher, medical care, and an

.:tome interrogation techniques that SECDEF granted authority for was beyond what I
was comfortable with.
I never saw a memo or received a memo from the FBI that commented on SIPs.
It was clear to all the standards. The boundaries were for all. FBI and CITF bad the
same bo\D1daries for all DoD included. In our discussions,.evc:rybody understood the
standards. We have the same guidance. Everybody was formally notified that the
superior commander made the guidance for interrogations.
I recognize the CITF memo objecting to the Special IP. I scot the interim plan up and it
was approved by higher headquarters.

My focus was on the relationship between the eITF and the JTF. My focus was to
improve it. They were at odds professionally and personally to the detriment ofthe
mission. I called the CITF commander pctSODally. We discussed that they were trying to
develoJ1.cvidence and the JTF position is not to develop evidence, but intelligence. The
meeting was attended by General Ryder (the em Commander), the CITF commander,
and myself. We talked about an effective relationship about doing the mission.
Subordinates are to work together effectively. An interrogation plan .was approved and
we followed the plan.

Therew8'i fairly large friction between JTF and JCRC. One of my focuses was to make it

effective. It was producing unnecessary friction.

went through SERE. The Psychologist, Forensic Psychologist, and Clinical Psychologist
were trained through SERE.
Most intemrgators were school trained on tactical intClTOgation. Tactital debriefing in
strategic interrogation, some were trained. It was a small number. Some picked up
training while there at GTMO.

I have seen several hundred interrogations now. When I showed up at GTMO I had
never before witnessed one.
I believe one ofthe things we found out holistically. Unity of command for success and
standards demonstrated success on a regular basis.
JTF-160 and ITF-170 was an ad hoc organization that started from a cold start that we
normally would have in our institution. There were a lot ofdevelopmental operations
and procedures for strategic interrogation on how things should be done.
Abuse problems are simply about discipline setting, standards and developing these
standards. You need leadership involvement that clarifies and focuses OD the importance
of the mission.

GTMO and Iraq are different I have had a year and a balfto look at GTMO. GTMD
used standards, how to treat detainee that are not combatants, how to interrogate, and
incentive based interrogations. GTMO was successful.

Th6sei.n~ogations

did not involve torture.

GTMDize inappropriately reads bad infonnation. I have heard of it If you apply a
leader and standard there is adherence to the standards. In another context, it brings
discredit to all the leaders.
