This really evoked strong emotions within the detainee. He attempted to move away from me by all means. He was laid out on the floor so I straddled him without putting my weight on him. He would then attempt to move me off of him by bending his legs in order to lift me off but this failed because the MPs were holding his legs down with their hands. The detainee began to pray loudly but this did not stop me from finishing informing the detainee about the Al Qaeda member, Qaed Salim Sinan al Harethi aka Abu Ali, that was killed by the CIA.

Detainee was exercised, taken to the latrine, and the medic on shift checked his vitals everything was o.k. The interrogation began with SGT M as lead and a DOD linguist, levels of guilt theme was the first theme used as the detainee had been crying profusely in the previous shift about a story of Allah’s forgiveness. SGT M asked the detainee the reason of why he had cried so much the detainee began telling the same story and was stopped, and told that I knew the story already just to tell me the real reason of why he was crying. The detainee went on to tell me that something tragic happened in his life today and he could not tell me. I kept on but the detainee would not give it up. The detainee went on to tell me that today he felt very spiritual and he could not keep the tears in. I told him “why today should he not feel this way every day”, and he told me again that something tragic in his life had occurred and again he did not want to talk about it. I asked him if because of the story he had finally realized that his involvement with Al Qaeda was wrong and the mission to America was wrong. I told him that everyone makes mistakes, he stated “no according to Al Qaeda this situation is a headache”, and I asked him to repeat, and then he realized what he had said, so he started on his treatment and that this is not the way to do an investigation, and I reminded him that this was not an investigation.

The detainee was seen by the doctor and reminded that he needed to drink water. Latrine brake and exercised.

Detainee ate an MRE and drank a bottle of water. The detainee was asked if he had ever talked to a Saudi official while he has been detained and the detainee replied yes, then he was asked if his living conditions where better then, and how long ago had it been since the officials had spoken to him. He replied that his living conditions where worse and it had been so long that he could not remember even what they looked like. I asked him if the Saudi government still wants him and he replied yes, then I asked him then why are you here and the detainee replied “because of the investigation”. I once again reminded him that this is not an investigation and that his government does not care about him and that is the reason he now belongs to the United States of America. The detainee seemed very shocked by this as if he had never put much thought in to this subject.

Detainee taken to the latrine and exercised. Medic check his vitals everything ok. The detainee was reminded that his involvement and actions taken by Al Qaeda have defaced Islam and that they are the reason that Muslims are not liked around the world. The detainee became extremely aggravated and started saying no that it was our fault and caught himself and started again on his treatment I told him to humor me and tell me about interrogations, he told me to tell the guards to show there face and take him back to Cuba, so I laughed at him uncontrollably, and the detainee got quiet. Once again I reminded him that only his cooperation would get him out of this situation.
