===================
Gen Karpinski said military intelligence took over part of the Abu
Ghraib jail to "Gitmoize" their interrogations - make them more like
what was happening in the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
which is nicknamed "Gitmo"
==================
Iraq abuse 'ordered from the top'
The US commander at the centre of the Iraqi prisoner scandal says she
was told to treat detainees like dogs.
Brig Gen Janis Karpinski told the BBC she was being made a "convenient
scapegoat" for abuse ordered by others.
Top US commander for Iraq, Gen Ricardo Sanchez, should be asked what
he knew about the abuse, she told BBC Radio 4's On The Ropes
programme.
One soldier has been sentenced and six others are awaiting courts
martial for abuses committed at Abu Ghraib jail.
Gen Karpinski said more damaging information was likely to emerge at
those trials.
Gen Karpinski was in charge of the military police unit that ran Abu
Ghraib and other prisons when the abuses were committed. She has been
suspended but not charged.
More details awaited
Photographs showing naked Iraqi detainees being humiliated and
maltreated first started to surface in April, sparking shock and anger
across the world.
Gen Karpinski said military intelligence took over part of the Abu
Ghraib jail to "Gitmoize" their interrogations - make them more like
what was happening in the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
which is nicknamed "Gitmo".
 She said current Iraqi prisons chief Maj Gen Geoffrey Miller - who
was in charge at Guantanamo Bay - visited her in Baghdad and said: "At
Guantanamo Bay we learned that the prisoners have to earn every single
thing that they have."
"He said they are like dogs and if you allow them to believe at any
point that they are more than a dog then you've lost control of them."
Gen Karpinski repeated that she knew nothing of the humiliation and
torture of Iraq prisoners that was going on inside Abu Ghraib - she
was made a scapegoat.
Top commander Ricardo Sanchez must be asked serious questions about
what he knew about the abuse and when, she said.
Gen Sanchez said in May that he took a personal responsibility for the
abuse by soldiers at Abu Ghraib jail. But he denied authorising
interrogation techniques such as sleep deprivation, stress positions
or sensory deprivation.
Last week, he asked to be excused from any role in reviewing the
results of an investigation into the abuses. He requested that a
higher-ranking general take on that task, Pentagon officials said.
A US general who has investigated the abuse has blamed the soldiers -
and found no evidence "of a policy or a direct order given to these
soldiers to conduct what they did".
But Gen Karpinski believes the soldiers had not taken the pictures of
their own accord.
"I know that the MP [military police] unit that these soldiers
belonged to hadn't been in Abu Ghraib long enough to be so confident
that one night or early morning they were going to take detainees out
of their cells, pile them up and photograph themselves in various
positions with these detainees."
"How it happened or why those photographs came to the Criminal
Investigation Division's attention in January I think will probably
come out very clearly at each individual's court martial."

Come noi siamo "cani infedeli"...
Costoro combattono come nel medioevo.
Noi dovremmo combattere come i crociati dell'epoca.
Le regole sono fatte affinche' i contendenti le rispettino (convenzione di
Ginevra), ma se uno dei due non lo fa, credo si sia autorizzati ad usare
tutti i mezzi.

 Nel medioevo non c'erano i suicide bombers...
Non c'erano neanche i carceri come Abu Grahib.
Cosa volevi dire, retorica a parte?
