U.S. military intelligence had control of Iraq prison
New York — Military police in charge of prisons in Iraq saw their mission shift from guarding prisoners to supporting intelligence-gathering to help counter Iraqi attacks on the coalition last fall, The New Yorker magazine reported Sunday.

Following up on its earlier article and photos, the magazine also published more details of abuse and a photo of a naked Iraqi prisoner being terrorized by U.S. military guard dogs. Other photos, not published, show the same man on the floor with bloody wounds on his legs, reporter Seymour Hersh wrote in the May 17 issue, out Sunday.

Mr. Hersch quoted retired major-general Charles Hines, former commandant of the army's military police school, as saying dogs were used to detect drugs or other contraband and perhaps for riot control in military prisons, but “I never would have authorized it for interrogating or coercing prisoners. If I had, I'd have been put in jail or kicked out of the army.”

The magazine says that on Nov. 19, Lt.-Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the top operational commander in Iraq, issued an order taking tactical control of Abu Ghraib prison away from the military police and turning it over to the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade.

<<General Sanchez agreed, and on November 19th his headquarters issued an order formally giving the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade tactical control over the prison. General Taguba fearlessly took issue with the Sanchez orders, which, he wrote in his report, “effectively made an MI Officer, rather than an MP officer, responsible for the MP units conducting detainee operations at that facility. This is not doctrinally sound due to the different missions and agenda assigned to each of these respective specialties.”>>

3. I wonder how much MI was influenced by Col. Michael Aquino's charm,
Edited on Mon May-10-04 10:15 AM by bobthedrummer
both when he was a priest in the Church of Satan ministering to US military and Defense Intelligence Agency folks, and after he took over the Church of Satan and replaced it with his own cult/religion the Temple of Set while on active duty in 1975.

This stuff is right up their alley-torture, S&M, child rape, necrophilia, slavery, even murder--and that is the environment that also had a lot of folks influenced by a truly evil worshipping spook that spread his Left Hand "gospel" all over, maybe they privatized that too.

Then we have a worse cult in "the Vulcans" to contend with-all these cult assholes with their secret society shit that covers reall horror behind the shield of "national security" they are criminals that have got away with murder, literally, for quite a while imho and life experiences. There is a cult of intelligence that worships evil, hello.
