Sworn statement by a Major, who discusses detainee operations. States, "ICDC [Iraqi Civilian Defense Corps] interview techniques were a little rougher than ours and there was a guy that got slapped, so the commander decided not to leave ICDC alone with detainees." With regard to use of dogs, states, "I would never let a dog near ... a detainee, but ... a dog barking 50 feet away ... personally I don't see a problem with it." In relation to minimum meals, states, "Water, three bottles a day, as far as food, something to keep them alive." When talking about securing a detainee by a handcuff chained to the floor: "Considering the people we're dealing with, and that I'm just holding them for a short period of time, I don't have any problems with it. Looking back I think securing someone with a chain for 17 days is too long."
