Interview of detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo bay. The purpose of the interview was for the new interviewing agents to build rapport with the detainee and encourage his continued cooperation. The interviewers told the detainee that he needs to be completely honest with the interviewing agents because if they do determine he is lying, his stay in Guantanamo Bay could become much longer than necessary. The detainee then volunteered that following his arrest in Pakistan, he was moved to a place they called "The Dark Prison" because there was no light. At this prison, run by the Pakistanis, and he stated he was beaten, tortured and threatened with weapons. He remained in this prison for about one month. Subsequently, he was moved to Bagram where he was interrogated by females after being "stripped naked". The detainee was then encouraged to keep his hope and that with his continued cooperation the potential for him to go home would rise. Both agreed they would meet again the following week to discuss his case.
