Interview of detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay. The detainee, when asked about his health stated he "was in good health", however he was bored with the food that he was receiving. Additionally, he requested that his Koran be taken from him. He indicated that he has memorized the entire book and does not want it in his cell. He stated that he does not want the book because the possibility of an (infidel) MP touching it exists if he has it in his cell. He then began to complain about the conditions at Camp Delta, stating that the new MP's with the 9/4 patch on their shoulders were mistreating the detainees. He stated that he was not allowed to talk to other detainees in his cell block by these MP's. The interview then turned to current events and the detainee stated that he believed Israel was responsible for the problems in the mid-east and stated that the Prophet Mohammed stated that "one day the Muslims will kill all the Jews in Palestine. All will be killed until even the trees that a Jew were to hide behind would talk and tell everyone that there was a Jew hiding behind him". The interview concluded with the detainee stating that he does not hate Americans or the US, but the US will be at war with Yemen, Iran and Syria before too long.
