Iraqi Tells Of U.S. Abuse, From Ridicule To Rape Threat
By Ian Fisher

BAGHDAD, Iraq, May 13 - The rough road to confession began with the ridicule
of the naked and hooded prisoner's name: Saddam.

The now-former prisoner, Saddam Saleh Aboud, 29, said that escalated into a
threat of rape by an American soldier named Ivan in the 1-A block of Abu
Ghraib prison. Then, he said, he was chained in a sitting position to the
bars of a cell for 23 hours in a day. Loud music thumped, he said. He
urinated where he sat.

Every few days, he said, he was uncuffed for other treatments: douses of
cold water, barking dogs, something called "the scorpion," in which his arms

were cuffed to his legs, behind his back.
Fellow prisoners, he said, told him later it lasted 18 days. He said he did
not know, and that it did not matter. He was ready to talk.
"They began talking to me," Mr. Aboud said. "They asked, 'Do you know the
Islamic opposition?' I said, 'Yes.' " They asked, 'Do you know Zarqawi?"'
referring to a Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant with ties to Al
Qaeda. "I told them, 'I am his driver, I swear to God.' "
"They asked me about Osama bin Laden," he said. "I said, 'I am Osama bin

Laden but I am disguised.' "

He said he meant every word. "I was only afraid that they would take me back to the torture room," he said. "I would prefer to be dead." Mr. Aboud spoke, reluctantly at first, for several hours on Thursday after a chance encounter with a reporter at the office of a human rights group here in Baghdad, where he had gone to register what he said was torture during four months at Abu Ghraib.
Despite his anger and shame at what he said the Americans had done to him,
he even told of some kind behavior by soldiers.
"I just want to clarify one thing," he said at one point. "Most of the
American soldiers were not bad."

As with other accounts by Iraqis of abuse, it was impossible to verify his claims - and the job gets ever harder amid the widespread rage, the possible desire for compensation and the sheer volume of detailed coverage of the
case.
It is possible, however, to weigh his account with the growing record from the military and other witnesses.
His name and prisoner numberJ.00144, is not included in a damning military investigation of the abuse. But the dates he gave matched those of the worst abuse, and he mentioned several cellmates with names similar to those in the
report.
With no prompting, he also provided first names of several important figures
in the report and accurately described some of their roles: a sergeant named Ivan; a woman named "Lynn or Lynnie," he said, and whom he recognized in the pictures released two weeks ago; a civilian named Steven, who he said seemed
in charge of interrogations.
Condemned in the report by Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba were Staff Sergeant Ivan L. Frederick II, of the 372nd Military Police Company; Pfc. Lynndie England, identified as the woman holding a leash tied around the neck of one prisoner in a photo; and Steven Stefanowicz, a civilian interrogator who General Taguba said in his report instructed military police officers to
elicit confessions using unapproved methods.
Mr. Aboud's allegations of the methods of abuse largely squared with those
in General Taguba's report. He also mentioned, again with no prompting, a
central allegation of the report: his belief that the orders for torture

came from superiors.
"I think this was carried out under orders," he said. He offered as evidence
that the man named Steven appeared to be the one directing the soldiers and
that several higher­
up officers regularly visited the cellblock - at times,
he claimed, during actual mistreatment.

He said he asked one of the interrogators, " 'Why do you torture us?' " and
that the man replied, "'It's not in our control.' " -
He also said that the soldiers themselves, as a group, seemed conflicted
about what they were doing.

While some seemed to enjoy it, he said, one soldier unchained him for several hours, only to rush back and chain him again when his superiors werecoming.
At one point, one female soldier, whom he identified as "Mrs. Lise," yelled at a man who punched him during questioning. Mr. Aboud, a trader and Sunni Muslim from near the northern border with
Syria, said he was arrested on Nov. 29, 2003, when he reported to the Iraqi

police a car on Saddoun Street in downtown Baghdad that he believed was wired with a bomb. He was blunt that he did not do this out of concern for American soldiers, whom he views as occupiers who must leave Iraq.
"If this car would have exploded at an American site, I would support that,"he said. "But this would have killed innocent people." The Iraqi police, he said, handed him over to American soldiers. After spending five days at two small United States bases, he said he was sent to Abu Ghraib, to Cell Block 1-A, known as the "hard site" for the worst
prisoners. He had seen the prison before: He said he had spent three years in Abu Ghraib as a political prisoner and was released in a general amnesty that Saddam Hussein declared in October 2002. He said he was settled into cell No. 42 and was given an orange prison outfit. Soon after, he said, he was hooded, taken to a hallway in the block and ordered to strip naked. Then he was told to stand on a box, with his hands laced over his head. One interrogator began to mock his first name,Saddam. He said that he heard the click of cameras but that he did not recognize himself in any of the released pictures of the abuse. "Then they started to beat me," he said. He said he was struck with a
broomstick, first on his hands, then on his arms, his shoulders and his stomach. Then he fell to the ground. One soldier, who prisoners called "the crazy soldier" because he seemed unbalanced, urinated on him, he claimed. Then they threw cold water on him. He was taken back to his cell. The next day, he said, he was taken to a room where he said the sergeant named Ivan was sitting in a plastic chair. "He told me his famous sentence, which has always stayed in my ears," said Mr. Aboud, who understands some
English and speaks it a little. "He said,
-113rou do not confess, I will
have my soldiers rape you.' "
"That is not a man," Mr. Aboud said, switching from Arabic into broken
English. "No. 1, animal. No. 2, crazy. Not an American."
He was not interrogated, however, but taken to a cell where his feet were
slipped through cell bars and his hands cuffed just above them. He said he
was forced to sit like that, naked, for 23 hours out of 24, with loud music
blasting from a stereo. "If they would have played for me good music, maybe
I could have slept - boom, boom, boom!" he said.
Every few days, he said, he was uncuffed and taken for some other abuse, but
never asked any questions. At least four times, he was placed in the
"scorpion" position and kicked while lying on the ground, he said. Twice, he
said, soldiers brought him naked before two snarling dogs. Days blurred into
each other, relieved only once by the kind soldier who uncuffed him and
whispered, "Go and get some rest."
After what his prison mates said were 18 days - he believed it was on Dec.
23 - he was taken back to his cell. On the next day, he said, the
interrogation began. There were three soldiers, he said, and two civilians

who he believed were from military intelligence. The man named Steven, in
his 30's with a goatee, stood silent. The soldiers, he said, deferred to
Steven.

"Steven was responsible for everything," he said. "He was the one who told
them what to do. He did not do any torturing himself."
He said the interrogators did not have to work hard: For the next few days,
he said, he confessed to anything they asked. He admitted to belonging to

the insurgency, of knowing top terrorists, of being Mr. bin Laden, of being a member of a militant Shiite Muslim group, even though he is a Sunni. He said he made up stories about where the resistance was hiding in the western
desert.
But, he said, they never asked him about the car bomb that he said he
reported to the Iraqi police. And after the interrogations began, he said,

he was never tortured again. If his account his true, this time coincides with the beginning of the military investigations into the abuse. Several of the most abusive soldiers, he said, disappeared from the block. He said he was finally released in March, after one month out of 1-A, in a tent in the prison yard. He said he was innocent, but suggested that he might not remain so, at least by American standards. An amateur photographer, he said he filmed the fighting in Falluja last month. He will not smoke American cigarettes. He said he now hates the colors red, white and blue. He said he is not a fighter, but pitched back to a reporter the question of whether he would
become one.
You can analyze your own question," he said. "What would you do if I occupied your country, tortured people and violated all the laws of yourcountry? Would you resist me?"
