Email between FBI Agents re: Allegations of Detainee Abuse at Guantanamo Bay
July 14, 2004 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 4793
An email from an FBI agent responding to a question about alleged abuse at Guantanamo Bay. The agent stated that he was stationed at Guantanamo Bay from June 2, 2003 to July 17, 2004. During the agent's time at GTMO, he/she occasionally witnessed sleep deprivation being used. The agent was told that one interrogator gave a detainee a lap dance (possibly detainee #114). Also, another interrogator bragged to the agent that he/she made a detainee listen to "satanic black metal music" for hours and then dressed up as a Catholic Priest and baptized the detainee.
