CID Report: 0204-04-CID259-80242

Aug. 26, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 155
This CID investigation was initiated after an article in the newspaper USA Today on July 6, 2004 ran claiming that a detainee named Makin Marwan Kaka, who was being held at the Hard Site of Abu Ghraib, was abused during his stay and interrogation at the facility. When interviewed for the investigation, Mr. Kaka stated that he was stripped of his clothing the first night at Abu Ghraib and slept nude on the floor that night. In the morning he asked the guards for some clothing and the guards, who genuinely thought Mr. Kaka had possession of his clothing with him in the cell, brought him clothing right away. According to Mr. Kaka, it appeared that the guards were not attempting to abuse him, but were mistaken about his possession of his clothing and responded quickly to provide him with adequate attire. Mr. Kaka also states that he was never beaten, sprayed with water or abused. He disavowed the USA Today story in total. The accusations of Cruelty & Maltreatment, as well as the accusation of Assault are shown to be unfounded
