General Sanchez establishes guidlines (attached) for all interrogations and states in this memo that: the interpreters are civilians who are subject to the Geneva Conventions; the interrogation techniques are only for “security internees under the control of CJTF-7”; safeguards must be adhered to during interrogations; segregation of security internees is vital to observed; the interrogator must maintain control of the circumstances at all times; and “Nothing in [the] policy limits existing authority for maintenance of good order and discipline”.
