at approximately 8 30 p. walked from the hallway into the open door of a monitonng room to see what was going on From the monitonng room, I looked inside the adjacent interview born At that time I saw another detainee sitting on the floor of the interview room with an Israeli flag draped around him, loud music being played and a strobe light flashing I left the morutonnb'room immediately after seeing this activity I did not see any other persons inside the interview room with the Israeli flag draped detainee, but suspect that this was a practice used by the DOD DI-IS since the'only other persons inside the hallway near this particular interview room were, dressed in green military fatigues, similar to the ones worn by DOD DHS and the DOD MP Uniformed Reservists At no time did I observe any physical assaults take place of this detainee nor any others while assigned to GTMO I understood prior to deployment to GTMO, that such' techniques were not allowed, nor approved by FBI policy While at GTMO no such techniques were never conducted to my knowledge by any of the
