Those Steamy Cuban Nights

According to an insider at the U.S. Prison Camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, female interrogators were utilized to break Muslim detainees through a combination of sexual touching and wearing miniskirts and thong underwear. These types of physical and psychological interrogation tactics were used to pry sensitive information from prisoners suspected of engaging in terrorist activities.

The revelations came from an Arabic translator who worked at the U.S. camp in eastern Cuba from December 2002 to June 2003.

"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," said the former Colonel Nathan R. Jessup. "I wish we had just performed a code red and moved on," he added.

He described how one female civilian contractor "used a special outfit that included a miniskirt, thong underwear and a bra during late-night interrogations with prisoners." In another case, a female interrogator wanted to "break" a prisoner, and "removed her uniform top to expose a tight-fitting T-shirt and began taunting the detainee, touching her breasts, rubbing them against the prisoner's back and commenting on his apparent erection."
