Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, June 12 (UPI) -- A secret document obtained by Time magazine shows the pressure tactics used against a major al-Qaida suspect by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The magazine said in an article set to hit stands Monday it obtained a secret 84-page interrogation log for Mohammed al Qahtani, believed by the U.S. government to have entered the country in August 2001, intending to participate in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The document says al Qahtani's head and facial hair were forcefully shaved; he was deprived of sleep, submitted to a drill known as "Invasion of Space by a Female," strip-searched and forced to stand nude, and intimidated with a dog.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Larry DiRita confirmed the document's authenticity, and told Time the log was compiled by various uniformed interrogators and observers on the Pentagon's Joint Task Force at Guantanamo.
The log is stamped SECRET ORCON, a military acronym for a document that is supposed to remain with the organization that created it. Time said a Pentagon official who saw the log describes it as the "kind of document that was never meant to leave Gitmo."
