FBI Memo re: Interview of Detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay
Apr. 16, 2003 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 3447
Interview of detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay. The detainee was asked about Taliban involvement in poppy cultivation. He said the "Taliban committed worse acts than trafficking in drugs, and they are not true Muslims. Wearing a beard and claiming to be Islamic does not make one a Muslim". He said he did not agree with the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The detainee then said he told stories at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. He said things because he feared being beaten or tortured. He said knows he made "a big mistake by going to Afghanistan", but he was "young and he went". He never had anything against the Americans. When he came to Guantanamo Bay, he decided to tell the truth and cooperate. He has done so. His story will not change any more.
