During late 2002, FBI Special Agent was present in an observation room at Gtmo and observed conducting an interrogation of an unknown detainee, was present to observe the interrogation occurring in a different interrogation room) entered the observation and complained that curtain movement at the observation window was distracting the detainee, although no movement had occirred. She directed a marine to duct tape a curtain over the two-way mirror between the interrogation room and the observation room characterized this action as an attempt to probinit those in the observation room from witnessing her interaction with the detainee. Through the surveillance camera monitor then observed position herself between the detainee and the surveillance camera. the detaiunee was shackled and his hands were cuffed to his waist. observed apparently whispering in the detainee's ear and caressing and appluying lotion to his arms (this was during Ramadan when physical contact with a woman would have been particularly offensive to a moslem male.) On more than one occasion the detainees appeared to be grimacing in pain and hands appeared to be making some contact with the detainee. Although could not see her hands at all times. He saw them moving toward the detainee's lap. He also observed the detainee pulling away and against the restraints. Subsequently, the marine who previously taped the curtain and had been in the interrogation room with during the interrogartion re-entered the observation room. asked what had happened to cause the detainee to grimace in pain. The marine said had grabbed the detainee's thumbs and bent them backwards and indicated that she also grabbed his genitals. The marine also implied that her treatment of the detainee was less harsh than her treatment of others by indicating that he had seen her treatment of other detainees result in detainees curling into a fetal position on the floor and crying in pain.
