Guardian UK has the 115-page report to be released today in NY by 3 Britons, freed in March, who were tortured at Guantanamo Bay.
“We had the impression that at the beginning things were not carefully planned, but a point came at which you could notice things changing. That appeared to be after Gen Miller [arrived] around the end of 2002,” said Mr Rasul.
“That is when short-shackling [when detainees are chained into a squatting position] started, loud music playing in interrogation, shaving beards and hair, putting people in cells naked, taking away people’s ‘comfort’ items [eg towels] … moving some people every two hours, depriving them of sleep, the use of a/c [air-conditioned, cold] air.
“Before, when people would be put into blocks for isolation, they would seem to stay for not more than a month. After he came, people would be kept there for months and months and months.”
Gen. Miller is now running all US prisons in Iraq.
