Criminal Investigative Task Force discussion on its policy when participating in interviews at Guantanamo. The email author states "Our folks should make it clear that our participation in dialogues related to aggressive strategies does not amount to an endorsement of the technique or the interrogation plan; CIFT agents and all other personnel will not participate in the use of any questionable techniques;. agents must report any such action to the SAC immediately; At any point that we disagree with an approach, for its methods, etc., we should professionally raise our material/legal, or other objections

Subject: CITF Participation in discussions of interrogation strategies,

techniques, etc

All,

MG

Let me make sure all understand

Ryder, and thru him to M Miller...

Pis pass this back to nd all others down in GTMO,

What follows is my poll

C. C -7)

1) CITF elements WILL participate, at the SAC, OPS, or Legal Advisor

level in any and all DISCUSSIONS of interrogation strategies and

approaches. We have to know what is being discussed, and have to be

able to express our views. As per MG Miller, I expect we will be

invited to listen in, and/or give our views.

2) At any point that we disagree with an approach, for its methods,

etc, we should professionaly raise our material/legal, or other

objections, but that does not mean we have to leave the room. The

obligations of our representative at any discussion/meeting are two­
fold: raise a professional objection, and report the issue to CITF

leadership. Our folks should make it clear that our participation in

dialogues related to the aggressive strategies does not amount to an

endorsement of the technique or the interrogation plan. But we MUST

remain engaged with other agencies, and aware of the strategies and

plans relating to all detainees because it will affect our

investigations and our own subsequent interviews.

3) CITF agents and all other personnel will not participate in the use

of any questionable techniques (as defined by law, regulation, and as

interpreted by the SAC there, and any agent has the authority to

withdraw from any environment or action which he/she feels is

inappropriate. Agents must report any such action to the SAC

immediately).

You may share this policy with whomever you need to.

If I do not see you, have a safe trip.

I hope you enjoy a relaxing Thanksgiving break away from this place.

I will notify CITF to be prepared to voice its objections at the VTC.

Thanks for the update.


Perhaps CITF can brief their position at the next VTCconcerning
objections to DOJ's proposal to transfer as well as interrogation

matteers.
OSD is putting an agenda together so at least we will have an agenda.

• Have a good Thanksgiving. I leave Wednesday and return on 6
December. If there is anything you wish to discuss prior to my
departure
please let me know. CDR.will act in my absence.
