Harsher Abu Ghraib methods condoned-witness



FORT MEADE, Maryland (Reuters) - Senior U.S. officials silently condoned harsher methods at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison and one general urged guards to use dogs to the "maximum extent possible" to control detainees, witnesses said on Thursday.

The testimony came on the fourth day of the military trial of Army dog handler Sgt. Santos Cardona, 32, who is accused of taking part in abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib that the U.S. government blames on rogue low-ranking soldiers.

Defence attorneys are trying to show that Cardona, who faces 16 years in prison if convicted on all charges, and other soldiers were acting on orders from their superiors. snip

Another witness said that the former commander of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay urged the use of dogs to control prisoners, but not in interrogations.

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller was sent to Iraq from the Cuba base to try to improve information gathering as the insurgency intensified after the March 2003 invasion.

...who will gracefully fall on his sword. I think if he concludes he is going to prison he will take them all down with him. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part?

Don

it goes ack to cheney and gonzales as well. MFers!

one end up with evil acts.

Military going DARK SIDE.

Culture of bush.
Downfall of right values
Rise of evil deeds.

This goes all the way to the top. Take some responsibility, assholes!

"maximum extent possible" puts no limit on the usage of dogs. That answer qualifies him as being an incompetent commander or deceptive in his answer. A less than honest answer shows that he does not respect his responsibility as an officer and doesn't deserve the rank. I hope someone has the guts to call him on it.

Both of them should be jailed for life.

Wonder if they use dogs at the Hague?
