CID Report: 005-04-CID149-83131
Jan. 22, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 2428
This CID Report is a follow-up on earlier reports that are related. There was a reported abuse of a detainee at Abu Ghraib prison, but it was, by the description of the Military Intelligence (MI) personnel involved, a rouse in order to isolate a detainee for an investigative interview on tracking down a smuggler of weapons in the prison. The MI officer faked the abuse to give the detainee an opportunity to speak without being suspected of collaborating and to give him credibility with the inmates the military was seeking intelligence on. This statement is that of the detainee who is the confidential informer at the center of the reported abuse allegations. He states he was not abused, and provided information on a detainee attempting an escape using a smuggled in weapons.
