. 1 iI provided him with an overview of the FBI's mission and organization in GTMO At his request, I also explaqted to him how the FBI operates in close coordination with JTF-GTMO operationally, however our , interviews are conducted in strict compliance with DOJ/FBI policy and training, with the exception of Wanda He clearly understood the distinctions:between our training and policies, as opposed to those of
theIDOD I1 ' 1I His i main interest was in interagency interview coordination procedures, which I explained in detail It was clear he wanted to be able to document that the FBI could not move, interview or otherwise interact1 . with detainees unilaterally ' . i i !
