quote=Sergeant Salcedo, 24, said she became frustrated with Mr. Dilawar when he refused to look at her during an interrogation, a problem she said she faced as a woman dealing with Afghan and Arab detainees. She admitted kicking Mr. Dilawar in the knees and thighs, grabbing him by the ears when he looked away, and pulling him up repeatedly when he was unable to hold "stress positions" against a wall because of his injuries.] The article quoted her military lawyer, Mario J. DeRossi: quotation|"She knew that she didn't have the training or experience as an interrogator. She never once said, 'I can't do it.' "
