• Yes. There was an incident of obseriation of a detainee -in a 'stress positiOn'. This was within the regs of military techniques bidoutside MIOG (No Bureau personnel involved). That was the limit of direct observatioris. In t6r-fris of knowledge of 'mistreatment' I can speak to that in great detail from formal
meetings whiel l attended and informal discussions with DoD personnel. BC
