      Sworn statement of a Captain with the 372nd Military Police Company. The Captain states "I was shocked when I noticed that the detainees in Wing 1 were naked.  There was one with women's underwear. . . . " Was told the nudity of detainees and their wearing ladies underwear was MI procedure. Also recalled, an instant where a soldier pushed a detainee with his foot into a cell. We had MI personnel without name tags; there were folks in civilian clothes, detainees, and ghost detainees.  It was very frustrating.  Things got a little better after the [ICRC] came to visit for the second time."  "I have recently seen  BG KARPINSKI on TV, I totally disagree with several of her statements.  First off, how can anyone say that MP's are not responsible?  I take full responsibility for my seven soldiers."
