Taguba Report Annex 85: Testimony of Sergeant First Class Keith A. Comer, 372nd Military Police Company

Feb. 9, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 291
Testimony of Sergeant First Class Keith A. Comer, 372nd Military Police Company. SFC Comer described that he came in to his position as the Company's 1st Sargent because the previous 1st Sargent has been suspended from his duties pending the outcome of the investigation into allegations of prisoner abuse at Baghdad Correctional Facility. The SFC then described morale and training the soldiers assigned to Abu Ghraib receive in the wake of the prisoner abuse allegations. He then said "I understand that there was a CD Rom dropped off at CID, with photographs on it, and that's how this whole thing started. Apparently, the individuals who are under investigation for this matter decided to pass CD's around...I have some knowledge of what's on the pictures, because I saw them, during the first investigation, there's no doubt in my mind that those people would be relieved and facing charges, just like they are now". He then added "The Geneva Hague Convention is part of your yearly mandatory training. You have to have 100% signed in. I don't know why it's not posted at the facility". The panel finished with their questions and gave the SFC a list of items to be addressed in a written statement attached to the transcript of the proceeding.
