The mental condition of the detainees is to the point where the detainees are all participating in a hunger strike. The detainees are upset with the way they are treated by the guards. They are upset because they are being held as prisoners without being charged with a crime or released. The detainees think America is intentionally keeping people in custody for no reason other than an attack on Muslims.

According to the detainees, some of the guards are physically cruel to the detainees.' 'has not personally heard these comments from the guards. He has not seen any cruelty by the guards. However, sometimes the guards are a little rough with him even though he is cooperative.
The detainees are extremely upset with the treatment they receive from the guards. The guards are treating the detainees like animals. The guards treat their dogs better than the detainees. The detainees feel the guards treat their dogs better than the detainees.
There is talk amongst the detainees that an unknown number of detainees are going to commit suicide for the purpose of protesting the treatment at Camp Delta and to protest keeping innocent men at Camp Delta. These suicides will cause the people in the Middle East to solidify their anger against America. He does not know who is in charge of this event, when it is to occur or the people who might take their own lives

CNN News that all Saudi Arabians were terrorists.' I does not want flow and exchange of information to b7D -1 stop. The exchange of information will make more people throughout the world aware of the conditions at Camp Delta and that America is detaining innocent people.
b7F -1
(detainees see the guards as babies, especially the "big American guards that fill the doorway." This is because

i tne guards are supposed to be strong, yet they walk around with a "camel" (a backpack water storage device with a drinking tube attached) eir ack sucking on the tube of water all of the time. A strong man is able to go without water for long periods of time uggested that the water be kept out of sight of the prisoners and have the guards walk to where the water is ept. e etainees look with disfavor and lose respect for women guards who are wearing or putting on lipstick in front of them.

b7C -3,4
etamees, i e guards want to be thought of as strong, they should not get angry and take their anger out on the
b7D -1 detainees, even if the detainees give them cause to be angry. A strong man does not need to show meanness to a weak
man. The detainees are wearing handcuffs and chains and the guards and interrogators are not. But all men are human and

should be treated with respect. "To be a human means respect."
The water issue would not apply to the interrogators if they and the detainee are sharing water or tea out of respect for each other.
