Marine Corps Memo re: Possible Article 32 Investigation in to Alleged Detainee Abuse

Sept. 22, 2004 | DON | ACLU-RDI 657
Two (2) suspects in the theft from the Iraqi National Guard (ING) Training Camp at Camp Junction City, allege being abused while in custody. Both suspects provided facts "proven to be false and established patterns of not providing the truth". One of the detainees’ claims that he was hit during questioning, but stated that neither of the Marines present had any contact with him during any of the interrogations. The other person stated he was taken to a dark room where he could only breathe through a small hose. Pictures of the cell show that no hose, of any type, could not be placed under the door and there is no evidence that either of the suspects were mistreated in any manner by either coalition or Iraqi forces during their detention at the ING compound or during their subsequent detention at the 1st Brigade Detention Facility.
