Military balked at punishing Guantanamo chief

[Solly Mack]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Military investigators who looked into FBI accounts of Guantanamo Bay detainee abuse urged that a former commander of the prison for foreign terrorism suspects be reprimanded, but U.S. Southern Command declined to do so, sources familiar with the probe said on Tuesday.

The probe also faulted a female interrogator for smearing fake menstrual fluid on a prisoner, but said the matter should not be pursued because it happened too long ago, the sources said.


The report on the investigation, announced in January by Miami-based Southern Command which oversees the Guantanamo base in Cuba, was due to be released at a hearing on Wednesday of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

1. Not only did they not throw his ass in the brig

they promoted him.

The person in question is at the heart of both Gitmo and Abu Ghraib.

Geoffrey Miller.

This is all you need to know about him :

So... after he shows up to consult at Abu Ghraib, THEN we get the
sick perverted shit happening. They fire Karpinski and promote
Miller to having her job (actually, he is in charge of all prison
facilities in Iraq).

2. I get more disgusted the more I read about it

For a recommendation to come down to discipline Miller...then have the Southern Command to just quash it that way. Total hypocrisy.
