This CID investigation was initiated upon receiving a complaint by a civilian interrogator that he “heard a rumor” that a guard at the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) holding facility urinated in a water bottle and gave it to a detainee to drink. The guard admitted to holding a bottle of urine to detainee’s nose making him smell it because the detainee is the one who urinated in the bottle and the guard wanted him to know this was “unacceptable behavior”, but most certainly did not make detainee drink from bottle. In the report describing the incident, the interrogator also described “harsh interrogations and inhumane conduct” by some interrogators and guards from April 6 – May 1, 2004. The investigating officer who investigated the complaint stated that “inhumane treatment” allegations made by the interrogator in this case were “unsubstantiated” because they were consistent with coalition guidelines for interrogating detainees for the relevant the period of time in question. It was also noted that the interrogator who made the allegations of cruel & inhumane treatment was transferred three (3) weeks after he arrived, by his own request, because he stated “I refused to conduct my interrogations inhumanely.” The CID investigator concluded the guard acted unprofessionally, but the actions are not criminal in nature and the offenses of Cruelty and Maltreatment; and Threatening Communications are unfounded.
