I was situated in the observation booth in betweeii two interview rooms, observing an interview which included at least one FBI SA, and possibly a colleague of his from one of the other agencies with
'invesitgative personnel assigried there at the time The booth was quite crowded because there were several: individuals Present who were observing an "intei lviewm in the room on the other side of the booth
In that room, the detainee was seated in a chair and was secured in the same method as I'd seen for all of the other detainees, shackled at his feet so that he could not leave the room However, there wasn't much talking going On, because the lights had been turned off and a strobe light was flickering on and off, and loud rock music was being played I estimate that this went on for 30 to 60 minutes I was told by quite a few FBI personnel that tactics such as this were quite common there at the time This was the
only such event that I observed directly
