Detainee was being exercised for good circulation upon arrival of interrogator and DOD linguist. Detainee was given the opportunity to answer the following four questions: Who was his commander? Who was he going call upon arrival in Orlando? What was his mission? Who are the members of the Orlando Cell? Detainee did not answer the proposed questions. He attempted to stray off on a tangent but was prevented from going any further by the interrogator. He was given a latrine break. He was offered water and food but refused both of them. He claimed that he was on hunger strike.

The theme for the night was Muslims in America. The approach used was the direct approach. The detainee was offered water. He was sent to the latrine and exercised for approximately 10 minutes for circulation purposes.

The doctor came in to check on detainee. Detainee complained of pains in his left kidney. The doctor reminded the detainee that he needs to drink water in order to alleviate the kidney pains. The medic checked the detainee’s vital signs. His blood pressure was normal (108/59) and so was his pulse rate (54).

Detainee was offered water but he refused. He was taken to the latrine and exercised for circulation purposes for approximately 10 minutes. Detainee became very frustrated because he was not given the opportunity to explain himself to me. He wanted to explain who he was and I did not allow him to do so. I informed the detainee that the only things he could explain to me are the three questions that I posed to him at the onset of the interrogation. He attempted to tell me about himself anyway but I silenced him.

Detainee drank approximately 2-3 ounces of water, taken to the latrine and exercised for approximately 10 minutes for circulation. He appeared to have gotten emotional as I continued with the theme of Muslims in American. I told him that because of his association with the Al Qaida organization that he was a part of the cause of attacks on Islam and Muslims in America.

Detainee was offered water and he drank a couple of sips. He was given a latrine break and exercised for approximately 10 minutes. The detainee is still annoyed with the female invasion of space.

Detainee was given food and water. He ate, was taken to the latrine and exercised for approximately 10 minutes.
