, WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
I arrived to Abu Ghraib I October 2003. My platoon was responsible for escorting detainees from Abu Ghraib to the court hose, the CSH and other downtown Baghdad. Several soldiers who had corrections officer experience were taken to work in the prison. , selected to put a training environment plan due to his civil - !....

I 1 : d heard of photos being taken of some detainee who shit all oveiTimself. I never s -iw the photos.
Id me if anyone ever wanted me to do something to get it in writing because if not, no one is going to me up.
never ea • Ps state that MI had encourged them to abuse a detainee. Dogs were used to search for drugs, but I never heard of MI using dogs during interrogations. I never saw dogs being used inappropriate. Attu Ghraib is an isolated place and no one ever came by to check up on us. I saw the battalion commander and battalion sergeant major maybetwo three times only remember seeing my first sergeant and commander at my work area on Thanksgi
ving and I saw maybe two times-nowhere near my work area. My platoon sergeant and platoon leader did not check up on us either. OGA did drop off "ghost" detainees. They were not accounted for or kept tracked off. They would just tell us to feed and treat themthe same as the other detainees until they figured out whether they had information the military needed.
Q. Do you have anything else to add to this statement?
