said he has found all the interrogators to be

b7C -3,4 liars.e
He does not trust any of them.eHe gave an example of the
b7D -1 behavior of Americans. A detainee returned from an interrogation
on his face and head.e

with blood He said a female interrogator,

b7F -1
after not getting cooperation from him, called four guards into the
room. While the guards held him, she removed her blouse, embraced
the detainee from behind and put her hand on his genitals. The
interrogator was on her menstrual period and she wiped blood from
her body on his face and head. He said he asked one guard, "Why do
you hate me?" The guard responded, "If I could, I would kill you."

b6 -3,4
complained no one has told him what he is

b7C -3,4
accused o oing. He is ready to be tried if there is evidence
b7D -1 against him. He offered that there are three possible outcomes for
him:

b7F -1
b6 -3,4 1. He will face a military tribunal
2. He will be returned)e'where he will face life

attacks. But he complained about the treatment he has receivede

He said he understands the impact of the September 11e

b6 -3,4
during his arrest, transport, and detention. He said the prisons

b7C-3,4
eare better than here. But he declined to say how he knew

b7D -1
the difference. He denied ever telling previous interrogators that he had been tortured before byl b7F -1
b6 -3,4
b7C -3,4 According to l believed in the humane treatment before he was arrested, he
of prisoners in the United States.

b7D -1
For this reason, when he was first interrogated, he cooperated

b7F -1
with interrogators. But he found his assumptions about treatment
in the U.S. system to be incorrect. He believes the United States
extends no rights to Arabs. He doubts anyone who interviews him
will be honest with him. He believes the U.S. intelligence
agencies override decisions of the U.S. military and that Jewish
people control the American media.

The interviewers explained toethat he was
detained during a time of war and that he a s under a military
system of justice. This is why he is not being afforded the same

b6 -3,4
rights as people who face civil tribunals.)e'asked what

would be done with him. He was told he will eithere

b7C -3,4 released. He said he believes he will be returnedeHe b7D -1 was told the United States is not following the di ehe

b7F -1
I government, that the possibility of political asylum was mentioned in his file, and that his fate was not certain. The interviewers are trying to determine who is linked to the Taliban 1 and to Al Qaeda.

.He then asked, if the intention is to turn him back(e (why not just turn him over now? He was told there are too
b6 -3,4

many unanswered questions to let him go immediately. He said he
b7C -3,4 believes from the interviewers' point of view, he is either
associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, or he was just caught in

b7D -1

the net, so why not get as much intelligence from him as possible.

As soon as the interrogators get all they can from him, they will
hand him over[e("on a plate".

trust could be developed between SAIe]who would be at Camp
b6 -1,3,4 Delta long enough to have repeated meetings, and)e1 An
offer was made to hold more frequent: interviews. In this way,

it was and asked if he could say his prayers. The interview was
ended with the understanding that another interview would occur in
two weeks, at which time this proposal could be discussed again.
