Detainee 063

December 21, 11:20.

Corpsman checked vitals – O.K. B.P 101/58, pulse 93, weight 119. Interrogation team entered the booth. Detainee appeared very stoic at first and claimed he was just tired, which is unusual for this shift. It is possible the detainee did not sleep much due to the introduction of the confederate detainee. Interrogator engaged detainee in light conversation and asked the detainee to name the topic. The detainee asked to know about recent news events and the interrogator stated that he did not want to talk about that. Detainee began to ask questions about Cuba such as; is there a mosque in Cuba, is Cuba part of the U.S., is Cuba in America, Europe, or Africa? The interrogator replied that Cuba was its own place and had an interesting history. Interrogator then shifted the conversation to things he had done before coming here, and asked the detainee if his parents knew what he was going to do when he left. The detainee replied “No”. The interrogator then asked if the detainee’s parents would have approved of him going on a jihad. The detainee replied “No.”
