Bryan Whitman Detain Quotations

Detainee personal information was removed from the transcript because of concern about the potential harm to detainees if the documents were made public.

this is a legal matter, it will be handled as such, but it should not surprise anyone that detainees would make false allegations against their captors.

That particular Iraqi special operations force came under fire as they were conducting this operation, and in the process the Iraqi special operations forces killed 16 insurgents. They also, in securing the objective there, detained a number of other individuals, approximately 15, is what I've heard.

In some cases, you had detainees that had made some incriminating statements about other detainees, and about third parties back in their home countries. In others, detainees had made statements that could be taken by enemy forces as disloyal acts against them. In others, detainees indicated that they had cooperated with U.S. forces, which could be held against them by individuals in their home countries.

We typically don't talk about the movement of detainees except when they are being transferred or released to another country. We don't typically talk about the transit for security reasons.
