In order to escalate the detainee's emotions, a mask was made from an MRE box
with a smily face on it and placed on the detainee's head for a few moments.
A latex glove was inflated and labeled the "sissy slap" glove. The
glove was touched to the detainee's face periodically after explaining the terminology
to him. The mask was placed back on the detainee's head. While wearing the mask,
the team began dance instruction with the detainee. The detainee became agitated

2223: As I began to inform the detainee of the changes the Saudi government
has been making in order to support the efforts of peace and terror free world
I began to engage closeness with the detainee. This really evoked strong emotions
within the detainee. He attempted to move away from me by all means. He was
laid out on the floor so I straddled him without putting my weight on him. He
would then attempt to move me off of him by bending his legs in order to lift
me off but this failed because the MPs were holding his legs down with their
hands. The detainee began to pray loudly but this did not stop me from finishing
informing the detainee about the Al Qaeda member, Qaed Salim Sinan al Harethi
aka Abu Ali, that was killed by the CIA.
