FBI agent who toured through Camp Delta, Guantanamo states he did not participate in, nor did he observe any FBI personnel conduct any interviews that were aggressive or inconsistent with FBI protocols. The memo states "did not witness or observe aggressive treatment, interrogations or interview techniques utilized on GTMO detainees conducted by FBI or other law enforcement personnel which were not consistent with FBI or DOJ policy/guidelines, but did observe such behavior by non-law enforcement Department of Defense (DOD) personnel on at least two occasions. On these occasions the DOD personnel utilized sleep deprivation by playing load music for 16 hours at a time with four hours between sessions. He did however document that he was told of several incidents of sleep deprivation, light/sound overload and detainees being subjected to "lap dances" and being "Baptized" by an interrogator in Catholic Priest garb. This is related to ACLU RDI 4900.
