M.P.'s Received Orders to Strip Iraqi Detainees: "Colonel Pappas confirmed in his statements that his unit had enacted several changes recommended by Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, the head of detention operations at Guant�namo Bay, Cuba, whom the Pentagon sent to Iraq in August and September to review detention operations.
A major finding of General Miller's visit, Colonel Pappas said, was 'to provide dedicated M.P.'s in support of interrogations.'
Several military police officers and their commanders at Abu Ghraib have said that military intelligence officers directed them to 'set the conditions' to enhance the questioning. When General Taguba asked what safeguards existed to ensure that guards 'understand the instructions or limits of instructions, or whether the instructions were legal,' Colonel Pappas acknowledged that there were no assurances."
