Sworn statement by US Navy Commander. Discusses detainee detention limits and extensions. States, "The facilities we maintained for detainee exploitation are austere but more than adequate." Makes no mention of abuse, and states, "The most aggressive interrogation technique that I've seen used is the good cop/bad cop, between two different interrogators in the room."

1.
I arrived into theater at the end of April and I actually assumed duties' at the beginning of May 2004. I do not recall the exact date that I ftdly 'seemed duties. 61.—

2.
As DOD, i have =oaue:inetaisetes longer than 72 'Men. I would approve these requesu if we believed the

regisindividual had more ootdd obtain. For most detainees we would get all the information within 72 hours, but some people would take a lithe longer. There were a of cfrenmanas in which we wanted to keep people off the area looser then 72 houn because What they wanted to was prelude compromise of that that would occur vmg pram to approve extending their
bt, detention for a matter of days.
3. I didn't approve any estentient prior to I May 2004 due to fact that I was neither at CJSTOF-AP. Realistically I'd have to say
0 that I've approved between 18 and 20 cases of mask* since May at the time that statement was taken byeltasra V The only outs I've approved, to my recolleetion, were for the telopotnry holding faL at RPC and I did one for
1. The same CC77SOTF policy concerning approval for extension all 1-4111171..411.101•111118
4. The facilities we maintained for detainee exploitation are amen but more dun adequate. Of course we'd like better facilities. I know of so significant with ours in regard to safety or operadon oversight. I did make some claws. because some iniperience, not a lot, Mai detainee operations. When I got here there were some things I tweaked a little. of a bole put a proper oral out there for defecadoe. for the guys to sit on, for safety's sake. While most kelp's just use
'k.. in the gonad. I dhlti't want to have a blindfolded detainee slip and fall into the hole. It was a simple construction out of crude materials but it was effective nonetheless. k's an evolutionary process In a combat entreatment. We have a quest to make k better for the safety of the people detained here, as well as the guards. •
5. 1 have been present during detainee• ' and I have witnessed than nut hand. The most a • interrogation technique that I've seen used I. the cop, between two different interrogators in the room.
Bever men aa_ y ID any manner y posidvely mut* diem dining movements. I've never sacs pros kicked. bpm. or anything dealing with sacks or bottles. I've never men stress positions used. I do know what stress positions are. have not heard a conversation about a stress position. A standard interrogation as I've seen it. is: the detainee is
standing. principle interrupter it across the table from him, an interpreter is to the side, and at times there may be a second interrogator in the room, end Its a series of asking questions, back and forth, crying to catch them is a lie. I've oever been to an interropzion from the minute it mans to the time n stops. I think I've lasted about 33.40 minuses. because what 1 don't want to do is become a regular fixture in there. I want to come In unannounced and stand, and try to do a random screenue versus being a tutnire in there for every jaw:regain. i believe it depends on the individual, concerning how often a detainee is in handcuffs. because them are some people who are more cooperative, and you'll see that they don't have handcuffs or alp ties on the whole time they're in their cell at alt. I've seen the interrogator move somebody who's very cooperative to one of the side rooms where they can smoke, where they can be free. This is a technique that they use as a reword. Wm very *carrot" driven, not 'stick' drive. You're very limited with your *stick*, rightly so, so what we have is the ability to Live gays enhancements. Whether its cigarette, or time to stand themselves, to walk around without a blindfold on, or something like that. I've never seen a guy p beaten or kicked. and I 't pm up with it. I have no tolerance for that.
