According to Glenn Greenwald, a "confinement box" is a coffin-like space. Bybee said that the interrogators could exploit Zubaydah's fear of insects by telling him that a stinging insect was being placed inside the box, and then using a caterpillar. Or, they could simply put insects in the box without telling him anything about them. The memo describes in excruciating detail what Bybee found
acceptable.
