SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A U.S. inquiry into alleged abuse at Guantanamo uncovered a climate of deep distrust between military police and interrogators, who were accused during the probe of giving terror suspects personal information about their guards.
The MPs suspected interrogators gave their names and Social Security numbers to prisoners in exchange for intelligence, according to the investigation, which recommended that a senior interrogator be relieved of duty for “failure to know his enemy.”
The interrogator “sees himself as a hero for the detainees, and against the MPs, on a crusade in the battle of the MPs against the detainees,” one investigator wrote in a report on the inquiry that was obtained under a Freedom of Information lawsuit.
