Major General Geoffrey Miller, Donald Rumsfeld, Ricardo Sanchez and Interrogation Techniques

General Miller was the general at Guantanamo Bay that would go to the extremes to get results. He only was concerned about getting intelligence from his detainees. Miller essentially turned Guantanamo Bay into  a prison that used extreme techniques, such as chaining a person in fetal position for 18-24 hours at a time with no food or water. Rumsfeld approved Miller's techniques and devised his own action memo that allowed solitary confinement, noise, light, dark, stress positions, sexual humiliation, and forced standing.

General Miller was sent to Iraq in August 2003 to help them get more intelligence. Miller immediately said they were treating the prisoners there too well, and they needed to instead treat them like dogs. Ricardo Sanchez then issued a memorandum for the most extreme techniques, then issued a new memo one month later rescinding the techniques he previously approved. This created general chaos at Abu Ghraib because guards were not sure what was and was not acceptable. There were prisoners forced naked on a daily basis. More harsh techniques were also used during interrogations. Some of the techniques used included staring at the detainee in silence, changing the diet of a detainee, or playing on emotional love or hate a detainee has for someone or something.
