Memo of admonishment to a military supervisor for "failure to accomplish supervisory duties" for his failure to ensure that only approved techniques were used in interrogations at Guantanamo. While the admonishment is merely an administrative remedy, the memo warns that "While I remain confident in your ability, rest assured, any repeated failures will be dealt with severely". The recipient elected to submit a response to the letter of admonishment.
