NEW YORK, June 12 (UPI) -- Time magazine has published details of an interrogation log on a detainee believed to be the so-called 20th hijacker held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
A secret 84-page interrogation log tracks efforts to question "Detainee 063," also known as Mohammed al-Qahtani, a Saudi whom World Trade Center hijacker Mohammed Atta was supposed to pick up at an Orlando, Fla., airport in August 2001.
Pentagon spokesman Larry DiRita told Time the log, compiled by uniformed interrogators, was supposed to remain within the Pentagon.
In the fall of 2002, top officials at the detainee camp petitioned Washington for stronger "counter resistance strategies." On Dec. 2, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved 16 of 19 stronger coercive methods, including standing for prolonged periods, isolation for up to 30 days, removal of clothing, forced shaving of facial hair, playing on individual phobias such as dogs and "mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the chest with the finger and light pushing."
A drill known as Invasion of Space by a Female led a detainee to become so agitated by the close physical presence of a woman that he described meeting Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan -- only to recant the story a day later, Time said.
