Interview of a detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay. The detainee did not initially want to participate in the interview because of what he called "the mistreatment of his brother Muslims in the camp". He decided he would not look at the interviewers or the interpreter. However, after some time the detainee proceeded with the interview, but according to the interviewers, he did not seem sincere and gave inconsistant and confusing answers to questions. The detainee laughed repeatedly and blamed the confusion on the questioning or the translation. He denied that he was being deceptive and said he could not help it if the information in the file was incorrect. The interviewers decided to conclude the interview at that point, but the detainee wanted the interview to continue. He was told that another interview would be scheduled at some future time in order to give him another chance to answer truthfully. He said "it would be welcome at any time".
