| Editorial Review |
| ".between October and December 2003, at the Abu Ghraib Confinement Facility, numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses were inflicted on several detainees. This systemic and illegal abuse of detainees was intentionally perpetuated by several members of the military police guard force. There was a severe lapse in the accountability of detainees at the Abu Ghraib Prison complex." Finally released to the public in March 2004, THE TAGUBA REPORT provides specific findings and offers official recommendations on the subject of detainee abuses, prisoner escapes, and the military's accountability. What's more, it details the "command climate" that resulted in the devastating mistreatments carried out by U.S. military personnel in Iraq. For the first time, this report assesses the Department of Defense's Counter-Terrorism Interrogations and Detention Operations, as well as presenting evidence related to initial investigations into the actions and perspectives of military intelligence personnel. MAJOR GENERAL ANTONIO M. TAGUBA led the initial investigation into abuses in the U.S. military prison at Abu Ghraib and has played a major role in the United States' global war on terrorism. Prior to his command in Iraq, Major Taguba served as the Deputy Commanding General (Support), Third U.S. Army, U.S. Army Forces Central Command and Coalition Forces Land Component Command. |
