Apr. 21, 2003 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 3450
Interview of a detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay. The detainee stated that before his arrest he believed in the humane treatment of prisioners in the United States. For this reason, when he was first interrogated, he cooperated with interrogators. But he found his assumptions about treatment in the U.S. system to be incorrect. He believes the United States extends no rights to Arabs. He doubts anyone who interviews him will be honest with him. He believes the U.S. intelligence agencies override decisions of the US military and believes "and that Jewish people control the American media". The detainee the gave an account of alleged abuse, he stated a female interrogator, after not getting cooperation from him, called four guards into the room. While the guards held him, she removed her blouse, embraced the detainee from behind and put her hand on his genitals. The interrogator was on her menstrual period and she wiped blood from her body on his face and head." He said he asked one guard, "Why do you hate me?" The guard responded, "If I could, I would kill you."
