New Bosses

The military police that were assigned to Janis Karpinski never obtained any pertinent information from the detainees. Because of the lack of intel gathered, the MP’s were put under the Military Intelligence. New orders were given to the MP’s to use sleep cycle disruptions, loud noises and music, standing naked, and showering with a female present again and again. These occurrences became common place within the Abu Ghraib prison.

Detainees were constantly put in humiliating situations, which was supposed to trigger them to give information that would lead to terroristic activity in and around Iraq. Only 15 to 20% would give information.

The MP’s did not want to participate in this type of interrogation but felt they had no choice in the matter. They did act in a manner unbecoming of the United States Armed Forces.
