The gentleman did say "I did not witness or know about any detainee abuse or any photos of detainees. I did not witness any use. of dogs but I did hear from an E-4 from the 470th MI who had an Iranian detainee and a dog bite a detainee on the thigh. There was no interrogation being conducted at the time and the interrogator did not incite the dog." Finally he said "I was never aware of any Military Intelligence personnel telling MPs to "soften up" a detainee or give them "the treatment." I am refering to the treament being a bad thing."
