The detainee's allegations were reviewed by the undersigned and contain questionable • techniques that may be considered criminal conduct. The questionable techniques appear to have been inconsistent with the guidelines of the 7 February 02, Presidential Executive order (Humane Treatment of Al Qaida and Taliban Detainees) that all detainees be treated humanely and consistently with the principles of the Geneva Convention. The techniques appear to be contradictory to established principles outlined in The Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

4.
Although these questionable techniques may be considered an ethical or moral principle issue or a training issue rather than a criminal matter, it is the undersigned's responsibility to report such matters as possible violations of the aforementioned memoranda, UCMJ, or U.S. Code.
