July 13, 2004 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 4977
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 who toured through Guantanamo stated the following: I did not observe any physically aggressive treatment of Guantanamo detainees. I will include the following: A detainee was led into an interview room by hooded MPs. The detainee was also hooded and the hood was removed by the MPs for the interview. This procedure was not under our direction. This happened on two (2) occasions. In an interview trailer, I observed an interview room with flickering lights and loud rock music coming through and under a door. I did not observe any individuals inside as the solid door was closed. I observed this only once.
