May 10, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 660
This document is the condensed notes of an interview of at Screener in Abu Ghraib Prison from Mid-December 2003 through January 2004. The interview is a verbatim rendition of the Screener’s statement and it is noted that the statement is to be signed once the Screener returns from leave. She “heard that a soldier” took a female detainee and took her shirt off, but she clearly states that she “never witnessed the use of dogs during interrogations; did not witness any detainee abuse; did not witness any detainees wearing women underwear.” She stated that she heard the detainees say “that even the linguist beat them. They didn't know if Americans were involved. They were abused with cigarette burns, and electric shocks. The doctor documented the bruises. I would say there were about 90 incidents that took place in ASAMIY PALACE. Some detainees would say they were beat up by Iraqis.” And “A detainee said he was tortured for 7 days at night at the palace.”
