Includes claims for torture. Claim of Canadian citizen (BATES 310-317) born in Egypt for compensation for torture and other injuries inflicted on him when he was captured and held in Camp Bucca, Iraq in 2003. The claimant is a member of a peace organization called "Rights and Freedom International." He was in Iraq on a mission to convince the Iraqi leaders to step down in order to avoid a war. He was tortured for three weeks. The torture included beatings, withholding of medicines and medical treatment, having interrogators put the muzzle of a gun to his head, witnessing other detainees being beaten, solitary confinement, being hogtied for hours, being kept under the hot sun, uncomfortabe positions for extended periods, and threats that he would be sent to Guantanamo if he complained about the beatings. The detainee went on a hunger strike after which he was beaten by a female officer. He was then deported to Egypt | ||
| DOD045904-DOD045905 | Record of claims under Foreign Claims Act and Military Claims Act | 7/13/2004 | Claimant was captured and taken aboard a U.S. Navy ship where he fell on deck, injuring his foot. Claimaint alleges that foot was not taken care of. | |
| DOD045906-DOD045923 | Record of claims under Foreign Claims Act and Military Claims Act | Claimant is Iraqi of Swedish citizenship arrested in Baghdad in September 2003. Was imprisoned for 8 days in El-Najaf, then for two days in Dewaniya and then taken to Abu Ghraib. He was subjected to many forms of torture, beatings, assaults, sexual humiliation, threats and "unspeakable and demoralizing acts." In one instance, the claimant and 12 other naked prisoners were roped together by the genitals while a laughing guard pushed one of the detainees on the ground, causing other detainees to suffer. He was shocked with an electric stick, kept awake with loud music, had a belt tied around his neck and was dragged approximately 70 feet. A dog was used to intimidate him. In another instance, an American guard shot randomly at the crowd, killing approximately five prisoners. Letter at 293 - 297 details other instances of abuse. A reply from the Army Claims Service acknowledges receipt of the claim, asks for more information and states "The MCA [Military Claims Act] requires that the alleged Government tortfeasors be acting within the scope of their authority when they cause injury to a claimant. Some of the conduct you allege occurred appears to be clearly outside the scope of duty required of a military member to arrest and detain someone. Please explain why you believe that this conduct falls within the coverage of the MCA." (301). | ||
| DOD045924-DOD045944 | Record of claims under Foreign Claims Act and Military Claims Act | Canadian citizen and permanent resident of the United States makes claim for compensation for torture and other mistreatment following his arrest in Baghdad on April 9, 2003. The claimant is a member of a peace organization called "Rights and Freedom International" (RFI) and was in Iraq on a mission to convince the leaders of Iraq to step down and avoid a war with the United States. He was held at Camp Bucca where he was tortured and beaten on a daily basis. Interrogators put gun muzzles at his head or body, putting him in great fear of imminent death. His medication for glaucoma and depression were withheld. He was threatened with going to Guantanamo if he complained about the beatings. After three weeks of torture, the detainee went on a hunger strike in an effort to stop the torture. He was then beaten and taken to solitary confinement. On one occasion, a Major suggested that the detainee complain about the beatings to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). After the detainee wrote a complaint to the CID, other soldiers beat him for submitting the complaint. Detainee was then deported to Egypt. A reply letter from the Army Claims Services states "The MCA [Military Claims Act] requires that the alleged Government tortfeasors be acting within the scope of their authority when they cause injury to a claimant. Some of the conduct you allege occurred appears to be clearly outside the scope of duty required of a military member to arrest and detain someone. Please explain why you believe that this conduct falls within the coverage of the MCA." | ||
| DOD045945-DOD045962 | Record of claims under Foreign Claims Act and Military Claims Act | Claimant was a night patrol guard in the village of Annana. On July 16, 2003, U.S. Marines attacked the village and claimant was shot 6 times. [I haven't heard of an attack on this village - the witnesses say this village of off-limits to American soldiers and they were not supposed to attack it.] He was taken to the hospital and later to Abu Ghraib. The Combined Joint Task Force offers the person who was shot $1,000 to settle, stating in a letter to his mother that "it appears US forces were negligent in shooting your son. In addition, he should have been released from the hospital and instead was arrested and transported to Abu Ghareb prison." Payment was approved and made to claimant to settle claim. | ||
| DOD045963-DOD045968 | Record of claims under Foreign Claims Act and Military Claims Act | Claim by family of a detainee who died in U.S. custody. Detainee was arrested in May 2003 and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib. Testimony shows that family was told by detainees who were released that the detainee had died in prison. The family went to the hospital where they were able to see the corpse. He was inside a black bag, wearing a red suit and his hands were tied. There was a blue spot on the eye. At the hospital, the family was told that Americans had left the body at the front gate of the hospital. | ||

| DOD046077-DOD046078 | Email forwarded to LTC G3 [Redacted] Re: Hearing Tasker 21 -22 July 2004 SASC on the DAIG Report on Detention Operation Doctrine and Training | 8/17/2004 | Sender is trying to determine whether or not or to what degree lessons were learned from detainee abuse by US forces in Kosovo. "From a FORSCOM [Army Force Command] I believe the answer to be - 'Not at all'" References news accounts of abuse in Kosovo: "Apparently soldiers and some leaders of this battalion were involved in misconduct and abuses of authority including unauthorized interrogations, inappropriate handling of females, threatening detainees with the use of weapons, and, although not a detainee incident, one soldier committed a rape and murder. Investigations by the Army suggested that the chain of command failed to appropriately train the unit for a peacekeeping mission, exceeded their authority in aggressively favoring one faction over another, and tolerated misconduct by members of the unit. .. Detainee abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan echoes the incident reported in Kosovo ... This begs the question, however, about how the Army may have used the lessons of Kosovo and will use the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan to better prepare leaders and soldiers for the realities of military operations today and tomorrow." This exact language was used by Sen. Bill Nelson to ask questions of the army at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, see DOD046079-DOD046082. | |

Detainee stated that SGT [Redacted] hung him by his arms from the bars of the metal door for two hours, while a female soldier threw cold water on him. Another detainee said he was beaten while in custody, and that this resulted in broken ribs and a broken hand. He was put in a shower and stripped while female soldiers looked at hime and one blew smoke in his face. She moved his hands and would not let him conceal his genitals. (DOD043786). A female soldier testified that she observed detainees' showers and she would "laugh at them, point at the detainee's penis, make fun and laugh at them." (DOD048866). A detainee said he was placed under a cold shower for 10-15 minutes on several days, that a soldier burned him with his cigarette and that somebody turned on a "noisy recorder" all night. (DOD048730). Soldier said in sworn statement that it was common to use fake names when interrogating detainees. (DOD048766). False names and rank are Standard Operating Procedure and are part of instructions. (DOD048766). Investigation concluded that offenses did not occur as alleged based on lack of medical documentation, inability to determine if a scar was the result of a cigarette burn and based on a statement by a soldier that the victim was "like a hypochondriac." (DOD048709). |

| DOD048929-DOD049083 | String of emails in March - May 2004 regarding various subjected relating to Abu Ghraib | Regading the 15-6 investigation on Abu Ghraib (Taguba Report), one officer Staff Judge Advocate wrote, “I also heard there was some discussion through DOD about trying to block access to it by electronic means, but apparently cooler heads determined that this would likely be both ineffective and improper.” (DOD048932.) Another officer writes of the report “The detail is chilling.” Attaches press articles on detainee deaths and abuse. May 4, 2004 email from an army Staff Judge Advocate to another army SJA states, "Still no specific notice apparently made in the media of the 377th MP Co's involvement (and subsequent CID titling/ "flagging") in the two Dec. 2002 detainee deaths at Bagram, Afghanistan." (DOD048948). "Will keep you informed.... In any event, it might not be a bad idea to start preparing an EXSUM (based on your earlier slide shows?) summarizing the specific facts/findings for each "flagged" soldier in case LTG Helmly or others call for it." (DOD048950). An email from an SJA to another SJA and dated May 5, 2004 re: "Specifically, it is my opinion as the sole legal advisor and potential prosecutor that no specific information from the investigation related to or regarding flagged soldiers should be released at this point for any reason..." (DOD048970). An email dates May 3, 2004 states, "It's too early to call to tell what effect the recent media firestorm will have on these cases. .. I also think it is creating a host of potential discovery issues for me... but motions I suspect that we can win if we have a judge with the courage to say no to defense counsel." (DOD048978). An email dated April 23, 2004, from Maj [redacted], SJA regarding the setting up of cases states, "Until I have assistance to look through the substantial amount of evidence that I currently have to thoroughly evaluate and prepare individual cases against of of the approximately 26 (currently ...more to come) potential individual suspects, it will be hard to know how many trials we will have or how long it will take." (DOD048981). | ||

| DOD049085-DOD049088 | Executive Summary: Army Reserve 377th MP .Company Soldiers - Pending UCMJ prosecutions Investigations | Attachment
of email at DOD048929-DOD049083. Background: Two PUCs (Persons Under
Control) died in December 2002 at Bagram Airfield Containment Facility. US Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) is pursuing investigations concerning these deaths as well as the use of force against other PUCs. A U.S. military autopsy listed "homicide" as the cause of the two deaths. Soldiers were administratively "flagged" and Court-martial charges were preferred on 20 March 04 against six Army Reserve MP Soldiers. The charges include: (1) indecent acts for ordering detainees to publicly masturbate; (2) maltreatment of subordinates for non-physical abuse for ordering detainees into nude pyramids and taking pictures of the nude detainees; (3) battery for shoving and stepping on detainees; (4) dereliction of duty; and (5) conspiracy to maltreat subordinates. Two NCOs were also charged with aggravated assault for striking detainees with enough force to cause serious injury. One Soldier was charged with desecrating a corpse by taking photos of two dead bodies. Report states that there is "No connection between these corpse photos and the crimes committed against the detainees at BCCF [Abu Ghraib]." CJTF-7 sent a seventh Soldier pending charges, PFC- to an MP unit at Fort Bragg because she was pregnant. Photos: (1) detainees ordered to masturbate in front of guards and other detainees; (2) detainees ordered to form nude human pyramids; (3) detainees handcuffed to doors or bed fiarnes; and (4) guards sitting or standing on detainees. CID also found short videos of detainees masturbating and being moved into the nude pyramids. Continuation of DOD049085-DOD049088. |

| DOD054949-DOD054952 | Draft Information Paper. Subject: Potential Crimes Against Detainees. Prepared by Maj [Redacted] and approved by LTC [Redacted], SJA, CIDC | 7/16/2004 | Discusses incidents of abuse of detainees by Army personnel that have been substantiated by "ongoing CID Abu Ghraib and other investigations." Two categories are described. First, acts that are "clearly crimiinal in nature", including assaults and requiring detainees to simulate sexual acts. These cases "subject the perpetrator to criminal liability and subject those in the supervisory chain of command who knew of the misconduct and approved or condoned it to criminal liability also." The second category is a set of cases that have more complex facts. It is unclear if these acts constitute "maltreatment" under Article 93 of the UCMJ and the culpability of higher-ups is unclear. These acts include use of military dogs to envoke fear, stress positions, nudity, putting women's underwear on detainees' heads and faces while cuffed and unable to remove them. Legal discussion point out that Article 93 does not specifically prohibit these acts, but does prohibit cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment and intent must be determined. In order to find a violation of Article 93, it requires a probable cause determination that the accused was cruel toward, orppressed, or maltreated a person subject to the accused's orders. | |

Some of the photographs were the Abu Ghraib ones shown by the media. Others were determined to come from a pornographic website called sexinwar.com. The family of a defendant, possibly a civilian contractor, forwarded an "mpg stick" containing photographs to the military lawyer representing the defendant. The defendant agreed to release the photos to CID. It is unknown what the photos contain. | |
