Fay Report Annex: Statement of Civilian Contractor (CACI), Screener, 504th Military Intelligence Brigade re: Detainee Abuse at Abu Ghraib
DOA | ACLU-RDI 661
Sworn statement from a CACI contractor who screened detainees arriving at Abu Ghraib from Asamiya Palace (alternate spelling: Adhamiya Palace) from mid-December 2003 through January 2004. The Screener describes in her statement hearing detainees' fear of abuse because of previous experiences at Asamiya Palace, Iraq, where they had been burned with cigarettes and subjected to electric shocks. The Screener states "I never witnessed the use of dogs during interrogations, nor did I witness any detainee abuse. I did not witness any detainees wearing women underwear." The screener did state that "A detainee said he was tortured for 7 days at night at the palace." and "There was a detainee who said that he was given cold showers and was under sleep management."
