Emails between Thomas J. Harrington, Frankie Battle, Marion Bowman and Others re: Instructions to FBI Personnel Conducting Interrogations at Guantanamo Bay

May 10, 2004 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 933
This email is to ensure that all FBI personnel touring through Guantanamo Bay and who participate in interrogations of detainees adhere to the Bureaus policies on the treatment of suspects and their own personal conduct when conducting interrogations. There was concern expressed as to whether FBI personnel were told in writing not to deviate from FBI policies. The email mentions different techniques used by FBI and DoD. The email states "Our [FBI] formal guidance has always I personnel conduct themselves in interviews in the manner that they would in the field" and "[we are] of the opinion results obtained from these [enhanced] interrogations were suspect at best. FBI has been successful for many years obtaining confessions via non-confrontational interviewing techniques".
