FBI agent who toured through Camp Delta, Guantanamo states he did not participate in, nor did he observe any FBI personnel conduct any interviews that were aggressive or inconsistent with FBI protocols. The memo states "did not witness or observe aggressive treatment, interrogations or interview techniques utilized on GTMO detainees conducted by FBI or other law enforcement personnel which were not consistent with FBI or DOJ policy/guidelines, but did observe such behavior by non-law enforcement Department of Defense (DOD) personnel on at least two occasions. On these occasions the DOD personnel utilized sleep deprivation by playing load music for 16 hours at a time with four hours between sessions. He did however document that he was told of several incidents of sleep deprivation, light/sound overload and detainees being subjected to "lap dances" and being "Baptized" by an interrogator in Catholic Priest garb.

_-• I was TOY te GTMO from the dates of 'June 2,2003 to-July 17, 2004. During that time I did not observe 6kc" aggressive,tle_atment, interrogations interview-technigueA on GTMQ detainees Which was not consistent wit Bureau Interview policyiguidelines by-any FBI personnel or the interrogators from FT. Belvoir consisting of Air Force 031, Naval Investigative Service and possibly a few other services although I can't recall which e ones. However. I do recall seeing some techniques utilized by other interrogators not associated with the FBI or 6-6 the-Ft. Belvoir interrogators., I occasionally saw sleep depravation interviews with strobe lights, and two different ik) kinds of loud music. I asked the one of the interrogators what they were doing they said that it would take
'approximately four days to break Someone doing an interrogation 16 hours on with the lights and music and four hours off. The sleep depravation and the lights and alternating beats of the music would wear the detainee down. There was a time period where' the interrogations were obtrusive enough that the Interview rooms for an entire trailer were not available if one of these techniques were being utilized.
