Things here are in a state of transition. The Bureau and CITF have parted
ways as C1TF is concentrating on de tribunals.. The Bureau is gearing up for
the arrival of long term personnel and identifying detainees with a Bureau
nexus. Once these detainees are identified, theyll become "projects" and we
should have a much greater impact then we have now.
I've been here 2 weeks today and have tagged along and observed
approximately 12 interviews The common theme seems to be the detainees
are all extremely frustrated about being asked the same questions, over and
over again, by different interrogators Once the projects are initiated, that
should resolve itseff. Most of the detainees I've observed have been
uncooperative and untruthful and some refuse to speak.

We moved our interview to a dlfferenl room! We've ' • heard that OHS interrogators routinely identify themselves as FBI Agents and then interrogate-a detainee for 16 -: 18 hours using tactics as described above and others (wrapping in Israeli flag, constant loud music, cranking the A/C down, etc). The next time a real Agent tries to talk to that guy, you can imagine the result.. .
