Once General Miller took over intelligence investigations at Abu
Ghraib, all hell broke loose. Brigadier General Janet Karpinski was relieved of
her command and Military Intelligence was handed over to agencies such as the
CIA and MI.
These groups assigned the MP’s with the duty of softening up the
prisoners prior to their investigations using a variety of techniques that
would ensure that the detainees would have a “bad night”. The MP’s would play
loud music, make noise by banging trash can lids together and scream at them to
keep them awake.
Female MP Megan Ambuhl was ordered to give certain male
detainees several showers a day and make her presence known to him to humiliate
and shame them. This was the beginning of the torture at Abu Ghraib prison that
would lead to one of the biggest scandals in U.S. military history.
