FBI Email re: Response to Steve McCraw’s Email on Detainee Abuse and Maltreatment at Guantanamo Bay

July 19, 2004 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 4976
This email is a response to a Bureau wide memo sent by Steve McCraw to illicit information from FBI agents who toured through Guantanamo Bay to report any suspected or witnessed abuse of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This FBI agent stated the following: I observed no aggressive treatment, interrogations, or interview techniques on Guantanamo detainees which was not consistent with Bureau [FBI] interview policy or guidelines. If I had, I would have reported such abuse immediately. Most detainees I interviewed were asked by [me], or the other CITF interrogator how they were being treated. Their only complaints about their treatment concerned lack of mail/delay in mail, dental appointments not being made, not being allowed to grow their hair & beards to desired length, etc. The complaints concerning mail and dental appointments were followed up on by the investigators.
