and position listed below) abused him while he was detained by U.S. Forces and possibly stole money from him. 16-`{
On 12 January 2004,111MOMMIIIIIWas stopped at a check point and detained by ICDC soldiers for possessing a large sum of money. The 30,000,000 ID were worth approximately 26 000 USD. The ICDC soldiers immediately turned him over to US forces. The detainee sells domestic animals throughout his province so it is normal for him to carry large amounts of money after selling the animals. He claims he was taken to an American base near Baled where his clothes were cut off by American soldiers and he and other detainees were forced to stand in the
f\J
,
rain naked for twelve hours. After ten days he was released and told to come back the next day
to claim his money. When he came back on 23 January he was offered 4000 USD or an
impounded BMW He refused both offers andli.111111111111 the 1-8 Infantry pejold him he
must accept one of the offers or would put him back in jail.Pdeclined and said he
wanted the 26000 USD he had when he was detained a d no less. Pput him back in
detention for another sixteen days. He said threatened him, told him not to file a
claim, and if he did he would cut his tongue. On 15 MayilliPP' filed a claim and this case is
being investigated by CID.

The 1 ID Chief of Justice is cc'ed on this message. Based on the report, the case is under investigation by _x
CID. I worked with_at Fort Sam Houston (the JAG Corps is a small family) -- he's a great
officer who will keep you in the loop on this matter.

In January 2004 the Al-Ishaki ICDC Company Commander, stopped

closer to 8 million dinar) inventoried by_

(all money seized or money on detainees was inventoried the times, all by se mate -,1, \.9
individuals for redundancy), and was detained for questioning. Additionall
ISM observed the box with the dinar, but personally did not count it since three No
others had already done so. the 1-8 Infantry S-2, questioned hat
night and determined that_a goat herder and didtat pose a threat to US
forces or Iraqi stability._i_tha_the ICDC Company
Commander, had taken his money and he wanted it ac . _i‘---5(

id not have his clothes cut off him and no detainees at the TOC or any 1-8 IN company FOB were ever forced to snd naked in the rain for 12 hours. At no time, didalliallithreatenanlbr threaten to cut his tongue (though this tongue threat sounds amazingly familiar to an Arabic/Iraqi threat commonly posed to each other). In fact, while was at the 1-8 IN TOC, he was provided his own Shelter, blankets, water, and food daily ZC. -y

After the initial 24 hours, J was deemed as no threat, but begged to 9.1dy with us
since he refused to return to his tribe with roughly 8 million dinar. 411.111111remained at
the 1-8 IN TOC in his separate cell in a non-detainee status for two weeks and then he

asked to return to his family. He then left with the 8 million dinar, cab fare provided

us, seemed very happy, and we never heard from him again. We askedliMpleumerous times during his stay if he wanted to file a claim for the extra money, but he refused._\ During this same time period, 1111111011111 questioned4111111111111.and the ICDC about the money and the incident. 41111.111IN and the ICDC vehemently nied having ever taken the money. AdditionallyAMMIne ation that accounted for all the money he claimed to have in his possession. _- -- ,U_ y
66-V Note: Though as the ICDC Company Commander for Al-Ishaki...he had been reprimanded twice before. First, for taking money (usually $300-500) from detainee families with the promise that he could get detainees related to the family _y released. We initially started receiving reports in October 2003 thatIMMerwas taking bribes and he was immediately reprimanded. Second, in November 2003 and again in January 2004, he was suspected of stealing money several different times from motorists that passed through the Ilihway 1 ICDC checkpoint at the 64 northing. From these accusations,_as reprimanded a second time in January 2004, relieved from his duties for a period of two weeks and then reinstated under probation.
