This email is a response to a Bureau wide memo sent by Steve McCraw to illicit information from FBI agents who toured through Guantanamo Bay to report any suspected or witnessed abuse of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This FBI agent who toured through Guantanamo stated the following: I observed no aggressive treatment, interrogations, or interview techniques on Guantanamo detainees which was not consistent with Bureau [FBI] interview policy or guidelines. If I had, I would have reported such abuse immediately. Most detainees I interviewed were asked by [me], or the other CITF interrogator how they were being treated. The only complaints I recall dealt with the detainees stating that their mail was not being received; dental issues not being given immediate attention; and other non-abusive issues.
