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 touring through Guantanamo stated he observed a detainee alone in a room that appeared to be "very warm". The agent then stated the next day he observed the same detainee in the same room, but this time the room temperature appeared to be "low" no other observation was made.

On one morning my partner from OSI went into the observation room accross the hall from our interogaticn room. to get a chair. While in there he called me in. In one of the other interogation rooms was a detainee sitting in a chair atone in the room. -The glass/2.way mirror was very warm to the touch, as if the room temp. -was, high in the interrogatiOn room.. The•detainee appeared to be sleeping in the chair..
. . The next day while getting a-chair in the observation room I observed what appeared to be the same detainee tri the same room.. The window felt very cool that morning, AS if the room temp: was lovi. Again the detainee was alone'and appeared to be sleeping in the room: •
