I'm responding via e-mail because I was aware of a practice of interrogating detainees which I did not feel'
was appropriate. During my short TDY at GTMO in July 2002, I took part in some discussions about a
. practice which had been utilized in which the detainee would be placed in the interview room approximately
6-8 hours prior to the scheduled interview. The-air conditioning in the room wouldbe turned down to as .
low as 55 degrees. It was common practice to have the detainees restricted from movement with .
handcuffs, legcuffs, and a chain bolted to the floor, which would prevent them from moving around the
room, which. in this case would prevent them from adjusting the air conditioning temperature.
My interview team did not participate in this practice, but I vaguely recall seeing detainees i~ rooms by
themselves iIJ conditions which I believed included uncomfortably cold environments. There .
were occasions when our Interviewteam would show up for an interview and the temperature in the room
was uncomfortably cold, However, the detainee was .rarely in the.room for any length of time before the
interview and we would immediately turn the air conditioning temperature to a comfortable level. I brought
the topic up to the Marine Corps JAG assigned to us and they actually began to discouraqe.this practice,
not necessarily because of my efforts, but others that agreed with my veiws as well.
IIf "0" peej to contact me about this matter, I can reac~ed at work a~,-- 'l or my ~ell Phone,c=J~~c
Thx,D
