Military Police Moved from Incarceration Staff and Placed Under Military Intelligence (MI)

In September 2003, the Military Police at Abu Ghraib were removed from the control of Janet Karpinski and were placed under the control of military intelligence. The military police were now part of the interrogations. They were commanded by intelligence agencies who only cared to get information out of the suspects. The military police were told when someone needed to have a bad night, or if a person was not supposed to sleep at all one night. They were told that they could basically use their imaginations to make sure the person being interrogated next would not go to sleep that night. The result of all this was more torture at Abu Ghraib. Anyone that would be interrogated one day was not able to sleep the night before. The military police were allowed to splash water on the inmate, play loud music, smash trash cans; virtually anything to keep them awake.
