Marine Corps inquiry in to possible abuse of a detainee on April 13, 2004 at the Al Mahmudiya Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Iraq. Members of the guard force at the Detention Facility were accused of shocking a detainee using a power cord by touching him with the cord as he entered his cell. An unidentified Marine reported that he overheard some Marines discussing how they were going to attach wires to a cage to prevent a detainee from constantly grabbing the bars and "shock that mother fucker". This Marine explained that he saw another Marine attempt to shock the detainee (who was wearing a sandbag over his head per standard operating procedure). During his interview the Marine admitted to shocking the detainee. He said it was an "impulsive decision without premeditation that he now regrets".
