TEXT:
1. ACTION REQUIRED: NONE, FYI.
2. APPRECIATE REF DETAILED INTERROGATION PLAN FOR NASHIRI,
HOWEVER, WE HAVE SERIOUS RESERVATIONS WITH THE CONTINUED USE OF
ENHANCED TECHNIQUES WITH NASHIRI (SUBJECT) AND ITS LONG TERM
IMPACT ON HIM. SUBJECT HAS BEEN HELD FOR THREE MONTHS IN VERY
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. IT IS THE
ASSESSMENT OF PRIOR INTERROGATORS THAT NASHIRI HAS BEEN MAINLY
TRUTHFUL AND IS NOT WITHHOLDING SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION. TO
(b)(1) CONTINUE TO USE ENHANCED TECHNIQUE WITHOUT CLEAR INDICATIONS THAT
(b)(3) CIAAct ,
(b)(3) NatSecAct'
(b)(6) CEASE COOPERATION ON ANY LEVEL. SUBJECT MAY COME TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT WHETHER HE COOPERATES OR NOT, HE WILL CONTINUALLY
BE SUBJECTED TO ENHANCED TECHNIQUES, THEREFORE, WHAT IS THE
WITHHOLDING IMPORTANT INFO IS EXCESSIVE AND MAY CAUSE HIM TO
(b)(1)
(b)(3) NatSecAPCENTIVE
INTERROGATOR WHO DEPARTED IN BELIEVE
CONTINUED ENHANCED METHODS MAY PUSH SUBJECT OVER THE EDGE
(b)(3) NatSecActYcHoLooicALLY.
3. ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN IS THE USE OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST
AS AN INTERROGATOR. THE ROLE OF THE OPS PSYCHOLOGIST IS TO BE A
DETACHED OBSERVER AND SERVE AS A CHECK ON THE INTERROGATOR TO
PREVENT THE INTERROGATOR FROM ANY UNINTENTIONAL EXCESS OF
FOR CONTINUED COOPERATION.
