Goes All the Way to The Top

Col. Janis Karpinski, the Former Head of Abu Ghraib, Admits She Broke the
Geneva Conventions But Says the Blame "Goes All the Way to The Top² *

Karpinski, the highest-ranking officer demoted in connection with the
torture scandal, speaks out about what happened at the Abu Ghraib prison.
She discusses:

* How the military hid "ghost detainees" from the International Red Cross in
violation of international law;

* Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller calling for the Gitmoization of Abu Ghraib and
for prisoners to be "treated like dogs";

* Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's secret memos on interrogation policies
that hung on the prison¹s walls;

* The military¹s use of private (and possibly Israeli) interrogators;

* Her dealings with the International Red Cross;

* Why she feels, as a female general, she has been scapegoated for a scandal
that has left the military and political leadership unscathed; and

* Calls for Donald Rumsfeld, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, Alberto Gonzalez and
Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller to be held accountable for what happened.
