Detainee was sent to the latrine and exercised. He refused to drink water. Detainee made the statement “I sick” after stating that he was on hunger strike and was not going to eat. He made the statement in English. During the questioning of the Al Qaeda document/Manchester Document, the linguist intentionally changed the question in order to see if the detainee understood the question that was posed by the interrogator in English. The detainee answered the interrogators question that was stated in English and not the question that the linguist interpreted to the detainee in Arabic. The detainee understands English. Detainee became very emotional during the discussion of taking the right and wrong paths in life. As we discussed taking the wrong path the discussion lead into a discussion of consequences for taking the wrong path. This discussion of the consequences for taking the wrong path, lead to the discussion of torture, beating and killing according to the Manchester Document. At this point of the discussion I was forehead to forehead with the detainee and he stated that he would rather be beaten with an electrical wire than to have me constantly in his personal space. Also, he stated that he would rather die at my hands than to be subjected to my invasion of his personal space. He stated that this is unbearable to him, my being in his personal space.
