May 3, 2003 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 1533
Memo from General Miller re: Allegations of inhumane treatment of detainees. General Miller directs the interrogators at Guantanamo to cease the use of the "Fear-Up Harsh" interrogation; only DOD personnel may approve interrogation plans; Military Police may not participate in interrogations; and establish trust between contractors and military personnel. The incident in question involved a high valued detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo who was harshly interrogated. He was forced to perform "up's & Down's" which involve compulsive physical exercise of forced standing and sitting many times. He was also berated with threatening language and sexual touching by a female member of the interrogation team.
