This memo details how a Staff Sergeant took photos of himself standing with his rifle with his left foot propped on the detainee's buttocks, who is lying in the sand with hands bound behind his back and a sack covering his head. Photo was taken on 08/10/2003. The Ssgt. exercised right to remain silent when approached for questioning on the photograph.
