SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Female interrogators tried to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay by sexual touching, wearing a miniskirt and thong underwear and in one case smearing a Saudi man's face with fake menstrual blood, according to an insider's written account.
A draft manuscript obtained by The Associated Press is classified as secret pending a Pentagon (news - web sites) review for a planned book that details ways the U.S. military used women as part of tougher physical and psychological interrogation tactics to get terror suspects to talk.
It's the most revealing account so far of interrogations at the secretive detention camp, where officials say they have halted some controversial techniques.
"I have really struggled with this because the detainees, their families and much of the world will think this is a religious war based on some of the techniques used, even though it is not the case," the author, former Army Sgt. Erik R. Saar, 29, told AP.
Saar didn't provide the manuscript or approach AP, but confirmed the authenticity of nine draft pages AP obtained. He requested his hometown remain private so he wouldn't be harassed.
Saar, who is neither Muslim nor of Arab descent, worked as an Arabic translator at the U.S. camp in eastern Cuba from December 2002 to June 2003. At the time, it was under the command of Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, who had a mandate to get better intelligence from prisoners, including alleged al-Qaida members caught in Afghanistan.

One female civilian contractor used a special outfit that included a miniskirt, thong underwear and a bra during late-night interrogations with prisoners, mostly Muslim men who consider it taboo to have close contact with women who aren't their wives.

Minskirts and thongs?
I can just see the detainees .. .. "please, question me" ...
Goodness, what will they think of next ... the 'soft cushions'?!?!?
They should have given the guy some viagra
Oh no, the thong song!
---I wonder if they'll proudly wear a set of red wings when they get home---
One of my sailors dressed in a mini-skirt and thong. I had to explain to him it was inappropriate.
Yesterday they were claiming women stood over them and ripped menstrual blood on them , I suppose even they saw the stupidity of this charge and changed it to fake menstrual blood.
You may want to qqualify that as being female savages, bud.
Oh that's gross! (shudder)
"Muslim men who consider it taboo to have close contact with women who aren't their wives."
Yeah right ... Mohammed Atta's pals came to the U.S., went to the infidels' 'gentlemans nightclubs' and bars and blew some money on women before they did their terrorism thing. I guess they couldnt wait for the 72 virgins.
``Since when did a lap dance become illegal anyway? ``
I think the Geneva Convention states that there is a 3ft rule. If you can smell'm, the're too close.
That is, unless the women are infidels, and the men are raping them.
Please tell me it was for a local production of South Pacific, rather than personal gratification!
I admit it. I'm weak, I would've cracked under that pressure.
We can joke about how ridiculous this is, but when you think of all the good men whose careers will be ruined because they actually tried to coerce information from terrorists and it enrages me.
If it were up to me, those men would be thanking Allah if they left Gitmo with all their digits and both eyes and can sleep at night without waking up screaming - forget this 'she touched me THERE' crapola.
Using women with these guys isn't a sexual tactic - that would involve livestock.
retch ...
Proving once again that leftists in America plumb depths that even violators of the Geneva convention wouldn't dare to go.
I've been mildly creeped out on FR before, but this truly ups the ante. LOL (I'm so sorry you have a relative like this. Ouch.)
