MEMORANDUM FOR
Commander, United States Southern Command, 3511 NW 91st Avenue, Miami,
Florida 33172-1217
SUBJECT:
Counter-Resistance Strategies
1. Request that you
approve the interrogation techniques delineated in the enclosed
Counter-Resistance Strategies memorandum. I have reviewed this
memorandum and the legal review provided to me by the JTF-170 Staff
Judge Advocate and concur with the legal analysis provided.
2. I am fully aware
of the techniques currently employed to gain valuable intelligence in
support of the Global War on Terrorism. Although these techniques have
resulted in significant exploitable intelligence, the same methods have
become less effective over time. I believe the methods and techniques
delineated in the accompanying J-2 memorandum will enhance our efforts
to extract additional information. Based on the analysis provided by the
JTF-170 SJA, I have concluded that these techniques do not violate U.S.
or international laws.
3. My point of
contact for this issue is LTC Jerald Phifer at DSN 660-3476.
MICHAEL E. DUNLAVEY
