DOD interview of a FBI Special Agent, the interviewee was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO) from February 2002 to February 2003 as a FBI Special Agent. The Special Agent stated that he/she heard of military interrogators impersonating FBI agents, also the Special Agent witnessed the following: short shackling, saw a detainee placed in a 'catcher's stance' during an interrogation and also possibly placed on his knees, and temperature manipulation (air conditioner would be turned down to make the detainee uncomfortable). Also, the Special Agent recalled seeing a female Sergeant holding a detainee's hand, which upset the detainee.
