Miller taking over Abu Ghraib

Recall I mentioned in an earlier post that a commander was being brought in to Abu Ghraib from his stint at Guantanamo and how absolutely ironic it is that he is being brought in ostensibly to straighten things out after the torture there has become widely publicized, seeing as how there have been numerous ongoing complaints of torture and abuses at Guantanamo.

Well, Billmon has this little bit of information from a LA Times article yesterday.

In late August and early September, 2003, a team from the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, visited Iraq to see whether it could help U.S. forces there obtain better information from detainees. That team was overseen by Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, commander at Guantanamo.

Among its recommendations were that military police guards act as "an enabler for interrogation," Taguba's report found.


What can I say?
