WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
I arrived at Abu Ghraib in late November 2003. I am a 98J and when I arrived at Abu Ghraib I was assigned to a Tiger Team for about a month. I was then assigned as the analyst who research, put questions together for the interrogators, and scheduled the
interrogators with detainees. When we first arrived we received training on the Interrogation Rules of Engagements (IROEs) and signed the the IROEs. These IROEs were posted on the wall next to the Interrogation Control Elements. We knew what we could' do an w ouldn't do but we did not know what the MPs could or couldn't not do in their area. There was one time when
eld a formation and told everyone not to do it or you will be caught. We did not know what the incident was o:
y id w at. I knew you couldn't abuse detainee. That was just common sense. I knew pictures were not allowed. This was posted on the wall. I never saw any photos or videos of detainees. The only thing I saw was the use of sandbags over the detainees head_ I never heard or had any knowledge of MI telling MPs to "soften-up -or abuse a detainee to get them ready for the interrogation. I had heard prior to my arrival that the MPs would wet the detainees and get them cold. Then they would take the detainees to the booth (I never personally witnessed or heard first hand). Dog were used to walk down the hallway, but never go in booth. I do remember seeing a naked detainee against the wall in TIER 1B. The MPs were getting him wet. as with me at the time. This occurred sometime in December. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't know what s cou or not do. I had the perception (do not know where I got the perception fro that the MPs 'cl this when a new detainee arrived. As 302nd MI we weren't attached to the unit there. My team would go t as our immedite supervisor
Q. Do you have anything else to add to this statement?
