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 provided the following account of his observations "I have not taken part in any interview where these techniques were allowed, but have only observed. The details of these interviews consist of, short shackling to the floor, cold tern temperatures, loud music, and strobe lights, and left in [the] interrogation room for long periods of time".
