While running the Pride and Ego (P/E) down approach, SSG M offended me in a manner that I can not write. I had one of the longest emotional outbursts seen yet. I went into a fit of rage yelling insults to interrogators. I began to move my arms and legs in my chair as if to want to break away from the shackles and attack.

P/E Down continued. I was asked if I could remember when I last

felt love? When I last laughed? Last felt Happy? When I last felt like I was worth something? Interrogators compared lifestyle difference between Camp Delta and Camp X-ray Camp Delta – Could live in a cell

and communicate with others; could read if I wanted to, practice my religion if I wanted to; could laugh with others, could write and receive letters, could sleep when I wanted to; drink when I want to; move around freely in my cell when I want to; use the bathroom when I want to and at least feel like a human being with normal emotions.

Camp X-ray- live in a wooden box with no communications and constantly reminded of my low level of self worth; unable to laugh and only be laughed at;
unable to write or receive letters; unable to read; unable to choose when I sleep,
drinks or go to the bathroom; unable to move around freely; unable to practice my religion when I want to; unable to feel like a human being; the only feeling I

know at camp x-ray is the hate he brought with him. Showed bits of the movie “The Green Mile”.

A latex glove was inflated and labeled the “sissy slap” glove. This glove was touched to my face periodically after explaining the terminology to me. The mask was placed back on my head. While wearing the mask, the team began dance instruction with me. I became agitated and began

shouting. The mask was removed and I was allowed to sit. I shouted and addressed lead as “the oldest Christian here” and wanted to know why lead allowed me to be treated this way.

Lead states that if I do not tell the truth, the interrogator will keep talking to me everyday until I do. Control orders me to sit up and pay attention. Control dripped a few drops of water on my head to keep me awake. I struggled when water is dropped on my head. I attempt to talk, but both control and lead scream over me until I stop.

that I was on a food/ water strike. However, I stated that I was not on an interrogation strike. I was reminded of my low self worth and that this life I had chosen here in this wooden box will not cease until I had come to terms that lying is not an option. I was instructed to clean my room in my wooden box. Interrogator told me that I will not be allowed to leave trash all around and live like the pig that I am. I picked up all the trash from the floor while hands were still cuffed in front of me and interrogator swept the trash towards me. I was told that it is his

responsibility to make sure the room is kept clean and I would have to clean it daily.

They regained control and the interrogators asked me what thought I was doing. I replied, “What do you think you are going to do to me?”

Interrogators played cards in front of me. Interrogators had me look at different pictures of women in offensive poses and identify if the women were the same or different. I refused to look at girls and began struggling. I was shackled and controlled . Water was used in manner to gain my compliance.

I was concerned that

Control stated that we (Americans) would not do that, we (Americans) would not kill innocent people.

I was offered water – refused. Corpsman changed ankle bandages to prevent chafing. Interrogator began by reminding me about the lessons in respect and how I had disrespected the interrogators. Told me that a dog is held in higher esteem because dogs know right from wrong and know to protect innocent people from bad people. He Began teaching me lessons such as stay, come, and bark to elevate my social status up to that of a dog. I became very agitated.

1300:I was offered food and water – refused. Dog tricks continued and I

stated I should be treated like a man/woman. I was told I would have to learn who to defend and who to attack. Interrogator showed me photos victims and told me I should bark happy for those people. Interrogator also showed photos bad people and told me I should growl at these people. A towel was placed on my head like a burka with my face exposed and the interrogator proceeded to give me dance lessons. I became agitated and tried to kick the gaurd. No retaliation was used for the kick and the dance lesson continued.
