I've just read the proposed memo on GITMO to SD and am generally OK with it with the exception of the reason behind the current strike. This go around is entirely about the disappointment the detainees have over the failure of the USG to close the facility and to transfer some detainees home and the hopelessness of this LEOPOLD/1:14-cv-0030-ABJ/003432 fact. Thisis fact and is repeated by the detainees and the attorneys in the press. | have stated this as fact in my own testimony on the Hil and to have done anything else would have been to lie to Congress, and, besides, | would have been immediately calied on it ct for week: but the detainees and their attorney's talk about this openly as THE reason this current state of affairs exists. The secondary issue is the Quran which is of course entirely fabricated and total nonsense. In the normal course of events my SOP has only translators (who are moslem) touching the book which is what happened in the last routine search. That said, | reserve the right to break from this practice as required because it is in my SOP which | own. Bottom line, Jim, their stated rationale is that this is about closing and transfer with handling of their holy book a distant second. ert her (exe) (6),Sec. 1.4 Jon the day at GMO Fiday (ny th rp and in realty everythings progressing on our timeline! 1 [EXT BN) Seo. 14a) [NCW BW) Se5 ays gcd Gren Cars ey are Tree to start eating normally and remove themselves [ther hope] from losing their communal privileges once the strike peters out, or |can feed them via nasal tube (no one right now is "force" fed) Oe) kelly ~~-Original Message—- From: Miller, James N HON 050 PouIcy (mai Ai ‘Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2013 2:58 PM.

This must absolutely include ‘a mindset change if needed that we are the good guys doing a job our government has tasked us to accomplish without emotion or value judgment, but with discipline and professionalism just as you did yesterday. None of us should any longer think we must defend the legal actions and duties we take as ‘we conduct detainee ops. None of us should in any way shape or form feel compelled to justify the legal, moral, and ethical action we take in securing and caring for the detainees. Explanations? Yes. But no tit-for-tat, defense, or attempt to somehow justify what we do right - because itis right and we do not have to defend or justify it. From four star to private this is the thinking we must inculcate. Regardless of the charges and accusations the defense teams or media make against the policy, commissions, whatever, it's not our concern. The POTUS has tasked us to guard them and that’s what welll do. Now that your team has seized the high ground and begun the process of moving our rheostat back to where it should be, and internal camp discipline and SOPs are in effect, I am particularly interested in the results of the after-action review you have conducted with your leadership team on how the entry ops went yesterday, the many lessons learned I am sure came out of the review, and how you intend on capturing the TTPs for potential future use, 1 also think once you complete this evaluation we can then direct Ft Bliss to add any TTPs we want them to integrate into our training program that they execute on our behalf LEOPOLD/ 4-cv-0030-ABJ/003270 Td also like to have an update on where we are on detainee personnel and health issues, search/sanitizing the communal areas and cells and what you've found in the way of contraband (hoarded drugs or food, makeshift weapons, etc.), repair of the cameras that were reportedly broken, powering of the swing gates leading to the recreation yard(s), etc. 1 also very definitely want to discuss your thoughts and my ideas on what might be the measures of individual and group good behavior - hich includes eating three meals a day - that might earn them over time the privileges associated with ‘communal living. For now they should remain in single cell accommodations. In closing, if you could provide to the detail you'l have it by tomorrow a snapshot of how many detainees remain on hunger strike and specifically what that means. How many, if any, are below 859% body weight, too weak to stand, continue to refuse medical care, etc. Also, would appreciate you and the GITMO team not/not sharing any of this outside of the SOUTHCOM chain to include verbally.
