scroll down to article titled: Gen. Sanchez Put Military Intelligence in Charge of Abu Ghraib

"On Nov. 19, 2003, General Sanchez made a surprising decision: he transferred formal command of Abu Ghraib to the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade under Colonel Thomas M. Pappas, a 32-year military veteran whose unit, based in Wiesbaden, Germany, had been assigned to the prison as the chief interrogators since it opened. Working with Colonel Pappas was Lt. Col. Steve Jordan, who headed the Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center at the prison. General Karpinski, Colonel Phillabaum and the military police in the battalion contend that the military intelligence officers had, even before Nov. 19, essentially taken control of the prisoners in the Tier 1 cellblock and had encouraged their mistreatment. General Taguba concluded that the 372nd 'was directed to change facility procedures to 'set the conditions' for interrogations. 'It was like they were in charge now; it's a military intelligence unit now,' said a member of the 320th Battalion, Sgt. John Lamela, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa."
