Memo: Memorandum for Record (Jassim case)

Today, a Memorandum for Record (page 1198 onward) relating to the inquiry into Salah Jassim's jaw breaking incident will be sent. In it, it will be noted that (these are direct quotes):

• The atmosphere in the detainee holding room was tense, emotional, and encouraged the guards to engage in abusive, out of control behavior.
• The MI personnel were abusive to detainees and these personnel set the example for inexperienced guards.
• There is evidence that suggests the 311th MI personnel and/or translators engaged in physical torture of detainees.

It is noted that no court-martials or punishments have resulted from this investigation.
