EXSUM
Subject: Photos of Potential Evidence Regarding On-going Investigation at Abu Ghraib
US Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC) identified and confiscated 12 CDs of pictures as potential evidence in on-going investigations focused on alleged incidents of detainee abuse at the Abu Ghraib Complex, Iraq. The confiscated pictures depict a variety of alleged abuses of Iraqi detainees, apparent acts of consensual adult sex between US soldiers in various levels of nudity, and numerous scenes related to soldier tourism and normal daily activities.
On Thursday, 6 May 04 USACIDC investigators in Iraq received a short-fused mission to send copies of the photos to HQs, USACIDC as a result of an Army query. Because investigators did not have time to ship the CDs via mail, they copied the files from all 12 discs and sorted those photos of an investigative nature and sent them via the SIPR Net to HQs, USACIDC in separate files containing five photos each. At HQ USACIDC, the photos were consolidated from four separate SIPR accounts and copied onto a single CD. With the exception of photos depicting tourism and daily activities, the CD contains 1026 photos pertaining to evidence of potential crimes or regulatory infractions.
Due to the short suspense and intemet constraints, however, the CD, as a whole, no
longer represents the evidence as collected in Iraq. Instead of depicting rolls of film in
the sequence that photos were taken—depicting both crimes/infractions and daily
routines, the CD now has been reduced to a homogenous collection of photos depicting just potential crimes and other regulatory infractions.
