Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski has said that she was told by Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, who had been in charge at Guantanamo Bay and now is in charge of Iraqi prisons, to treat Iraqi detainees like dogs. In an interview aired on BBC Radio 4's On the Ropes Program, Karpinski said that "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." Karpinski also said that military intelligence took over part of the Abu Ghraib part in order to "Gitmoize" the interrogations. Karpinski says she wasn't aware of the humiliation and torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and says she has been made a scapegoat. [more]
