A summary of a FBI interview of a detainee being held at Camp X-Ray about the conditions of confinement in the camp.  During the interview, the detainee stated that Military Police "have been mistreating the detainees by pushing them around and throwing their waste bucket to them in the cell, sometimes with waste still in the bucket and kicking the Koran." He added that "in the Muslim culture, people do not get dressed, shower or use the bathroom in front of others; however, they are being forced to do so."  The detainee also made several statements related to the unrest of other detainees being held at Guantanamo.
