9. Prisoners awaiting interrogation by Military Intelligence
where separated from the general population and placed in a special location in
Abu Ghraib call the “Hard Site”. Military Intelligence personnel, which
included CIA, linguists and interrogation specialists from private defense,
would instruct military personnel to “soften up” detainees prior to
interrogation. Member of the 372nd Military Police Company, which
included Staff Sergeant Ivan L. Frederick II, senior enlisted man, Specialist
Charles A. Graner, Sergeant Javal Davis, Specialist Megan Ambuhl, Specialist
Sabrina Harman, Private Jeremy Sivits, and Private Lynndie England, would
inflict deliberate sadistic dehumanization that included physical, mental, and
sexual abuse. The torturing of detainees was elevated after the Prison Riot of
2003 was neutralized. The instigators of the riot where beaten, striped of
their clothing and forcibly restrained in stress positions. The actions of the
soldiers were sanctioned by high racking administrative officials for the
purpose of gaining actionable intelligence. During these interrogations,
detainees where further subjected to torture and beatings that would result in
regurgitated confections, false or inaccurate intelligence in exchange for a
halt to the activities. On occasions, when the interrogations did not go a
quickly as the interrogators desired some the detainees succumbed to the
torture and were killed.
