I begat Operation Freedom in JAN 03 and redeployed back to Ft. Campbell. KY hi SEP 03. I was located at Radwaelya

Asthose Wanes became , interrogation would be conducted outdoors behind hundinge and walls where the detainees couldnot be nudity am by other These interroptioes were actually screening sessions and would lam from as short as 15minutes lo as loft as one Mur or more. After qE • , I would decide to muse tome detainees and intern the eaters. I Wokdime Maned to Camp Cropper on BIAP. I made arrangements with the intenogators working at Camp Camper to use their
facilities to cooduct further merroptions. No detainees were kept at RPC during that time for more than a fear bows before being

SOP. the
leseRigencereports, emosed documents and equipment, em. I will then decide hi what order I will begin itserrogating deselects. This decisioncould be based on who sneers to be most 're or who appear: most IH:ip to have die information we are neking.
I typically conduct intenro yam with die , myself, and an interpreter pram) an stand*. There is always a table
plena. sod keep notebooks, the detainee Rik, the camera, etc. on the table. If detainee is being cooperative and giving
actionable inelligence, we will sit down at the table. Most interrogation anions last only one boa. but cm those few that havelasted up to three boors may ire all participants, myself included, to remain standing If the detainee isDetainees are never ' asked; they wear diR clothes they were brought in whit.

If the detainee claim, to be innocent. but theI will explain that they are facing taw in Abu Gash. to explain any more than that. their own imaginations
will generally be more effective than =yams 1 could say.
Duthie inattegations I will invade a detainee's meant mace, set fact to lam with him, and start yelling If mend. Almon all

detainees have proclaimed their innocence, but one of my common to tell damn to that up if all they ban to so is theyare Clement. I tell then 1 est not interested in bearing a confession, I already know they are guilty. I want to hear where the edictpeople ate located. what their plans are, etc. I ute an approach where the detainee believes he can make his situation better byinforming en those who are stilt opera • . I use Mu Gkraib manly as It is the actual locadon we send detainees for layerintarament. Dot because of its history time and Me recent scandal. litho detainee wants so mans an association between dime events and his integument, I wi not that. I do not mention tonere, enesdon. sexual humiliation or

else along those lines as a consequence of internment at Abe Ohsaib. When dentate; continue to profess their innonnec.rm inthem nal am done talking to them and the ma person the will speak to wg1 be at Abu CUM. In some inatances, the detaineeshave mud for muter to speak with me. T1115 is the most I will exploit the detainees fears of Abu Multi.I do not use stress minions agation approach technique as I do not believe they are effective. I have spent my entire
