Selise, there is some weird thing on 143/438. Any idea what it is?

343/438 Al-Sharabi was in isolation for at least [redacted]. The FBI did an interview summary for [redacted].

Curious.

Slahi was believed to be involved in recruitment of the 9/11 hijackers. 165/438. He seems to have thought he was suspected of being involved in the Millennium bomb plot. 342/438

336/438 Cisco did not volunteer any information about the interrogation of Saleh in the first round of survey, or in the direct discussion with OIG. He refused to answer questions about it after it was disclosed by another agent, and the OIG called back. He went to Iraq as a private contractor.

309-10/438 Begg was the first to be scheduled for a hearing by a military commission. He was released to British custody in January 2005, and freed. The specific allegations of torture are redacted.

Here’s a better answer. Before 9/11, there were 35 Joint Terrorism Task Forces around the country. These included Federal, State and Local law enforcement agencies. They were deployed to deal with interviewing detainees. 58/438
The searchable .pdf Selise did is invaluable.

309/438 Begg, a British and Pakistani national, arrested in Islamabad, was held at a redacted location, where he was questioned by “U.S. and coalition intelligence personnel”. He was moved to GTMO, where he was questioned by a NYC policeman. It isn’t clear if this is the same guy who was involved in the body cavity searches. 263/438
