This document is a production of a FBI summary of notes taken during an interview and rapport building session with a detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo. The detainee states that he is in good health and has “been treated well and had no problems which he wished to discuss. “ The detainee “reiterated the statement he made during his previous interview, on 3/14/2003, that he would not provide any information until the U.S. Government and interrogators in Camp Delta changed the way it treated the Muslim holy book, the Koran”, such as having the Koran taken away from detainees who fail to cooperate with interrogations. The rest of the notes describe a “generic question” to the detainee and his response.
