and grumpy he was. In order to escalate the detainee's emotions, a
mask was made from an MRE box with a smily face on it and placed
on the detainee's head for a few moments. A latex glove was
inflated and labeled the "sissy slap" glove. The glove
was touched to the detainee's face periodically after explaining
the terminology to him. The mask was placed back on the detainee's
head. While wearing the mask, the team began dance instruction
with the detainee. The detainee became agitated and began
shouting.

ankle bandages to prevent chafing. Interrogater began by reminding
the detainee about the lessons in respect and how the detainee had
disrespected the interrogators. Told detainee that a dog is held
in higher esteem because dogs know right from wrong and know how
to protect innocent people from bad people. Began teaching the
detainee lessons such as stay, come, and bark to elevate his
social status up to that of a dog. Detainee became very agitated.

2223: As I began to inform the detainee of the changes the
Saudi government has been making in order to support the efforts
of peace and terror free world I began to engage closeness with
the detainee. 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.
