Site of Iraq horrors still a prison ... for now

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Abu Ghurayb, the largest prison in Iraq, has too many horrible memories to remain standing, said Brig. Gen. Janice Karpinski, commander of the 800th Military Police Brigade.

“It’s time for a fresh start,” said Karpinski, who is in charge of all of Iraq’s current prisoners and detainees. “This is an interim facility — we don’t intend to have it open in 10 years.”

At some point down the road, Abu Ghurayb will be dismantled as a prison complex, replaced by a billion-dollar prison that will be built elsewhere in the Baghdad vicinity, said Karpinski, whose unit is from Uniondale, Long Island, N.Y.

But in the meantime, U.S. MPs have no choice but to work with what they have, including Al Ghurayb, which is about 30 miles outside of Baghdad’s city center.
