US ARMY spy lords ordered military dog handlers to use unmuzzled dog
US ARMY spy lords ordered military dog handlers to use unmuzzled dog to intimidate detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, it was revealed today.
Six US soldiers face possible courts martial - one has already been jailed for a year - because of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, where photographs have shown detainees being sexually humiliated, physically tormented and threatened with dogs.
Two army dog handlers assigned to Abu Ghraib, sergeants Michael Smith and Santos Cardona, told investigators military intelligence personnel asked them to bring their dogs to interrogation sessions.
According to the report, Smith and Cardona said they complied with the requests because they believed the tactics had been approved by Colonel Thomas Pappas, the military intelligence officer in charge of the Iraqi prison.
At the cell blocks, the two army men allowed their dogs to menace detainees.
At the behest of interrogators, Smith said, in some cases he would bring the barking dog to within six inches of terrified prisoners.
Neither Smith nor Cardona have been charged in connection with the abuse at Abu Ghraib. US ARMY spy lords ordered military dog handlers to use unmuzzled dog to intimidate detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, it was revealed today.
