Taguba Report Annex 66: Testimony of Captain Ed Diamantis, 800th Military Police Brigade

Feb. 15, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 272
Testimony of Captain Ed Diamantis, 800th Military Police Brigade. Capt. Diamantis described his background and how he was assigned to Iraq. He then offered the following: "The Brigade's main effort was detainee operations." "I never saw any 15-6's or derogatory information on personnel in the unit. I never submitted any DEROG's. I haven't seen any cases that warrant DEROG's. I believe the soldier involved in detainee abuse at Camp Bucca, belonged to the 320 th MP Battalion. I don't know if the soldiers. I assume DEROG's are handled at the battalion level". He then stated "In regards to the incident at Camp Bucca it is unacceptable. It happened once and by the MP standard, and once is too much. I am proud of the fact that other MP's reported the incidents". The interview was then concluded.
