Fay Report Annex: Statement of CACI On-Site Civilian Manager for Interrogators at Abu Ghraib Prison re: Interrogations and Management Issues at Abu Ghraib Prison

May 3, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 714
This is a sworn statement from a CACI civilian contractor assigned to Abu Ghraib prison in early October 2003 as an “on-site manager” of CACI employees, and as an interrogator himself. He described his understanding on how to treat detainees and conduct interrogations at Abu Ghraib in the following way: “There are two Code[s] of Conducts: One for operations in other areas and one for operations in Iraq. The latter came in at a later time, dated 22 Nov 2003. Once on the ground at Abu Ghraib, We received training on the Interrogation Rules of Engagement (IROE) and we signed the IROEs. Nothing we were briefed was out of the ordinary from the Interrogation Field Manual or what we had learned at the schoolhouse. I felt pretty comfortable with the interrogation procedures in place. I understood and believed the rest of the CACI contractors understood the IROE quite well.” As for allegations of detainee abuse he said “I was never made aware of or saw any detainee abuse, photos of detainees being abused or videos of detainees being abused… I did hear of dogs being used but the use of dogs had to be approved by higher. I never heard or saw any dog bite a detainee.”
