Transcript of interview with an FBI Investigative Analyst (IA) who formerly worked as a liaison between the FBI and the U.S. military during their temporary duty assignment at Guantanamo Bay. The IA was not a member of any interview or interrogation team and has no first hand knowledge of any improper techniques being used on detainees. The only positive reporting of adverse treatment to detainees was the IA's knowledge of a rumor about, "a male detainee being dressed in female clothing with make-up applied, who was given an involuntary lap dance from a female prison guard at the direction of military interrogators or Agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)."
