BAGHDAD (Iraq); IRAQ

The article presents an interview with Major General Geoffrey Miller, the man in charge of Abu Ghraib Prison in Baghdad, Iraq. Since news of the prisoner-abuse scandal at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib Prison broke earlier this year, the U.S. military claims to have implemented serious changes at the facility. Miller recently claimed that these new measures have resulted in an increase of "high-value" intelligence gleaned from prisoners. Incentive-based interrogation or rapport-based interrogation is the most effective way to gain useful actionable intelligence, according to Miller. Some members of the Coalition have sent delegations to interrogate their own nationals who are detainees. But they may only interrogate their own nationals, not other nationals or Iraqis. Regarding the abuses at Abu Ghraib, Miller says that this happened to a small number of detainees. Miller says that every allegation of female abuse at the prison has been investigated, but there have been no indications of such allegations being factual.
