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

Aug. 16, 2004 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 4951
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. After reading the agent's account Ms. Caproni states "No further interview [of the agent] necessary. Loud music and strobe light would be within the notion of "environment down" that is an approved technique for DOD. The Israeli flag, though obnoxious, doesn't seem to change the basic technique into one that would be unlawfully abusive".
