Abu Ghraib meets Guantanamo Bay
By Michael Moran
Columnist
MSNBC
Updated: 3:10 p.m. ET May 18, 2004
Even before the latest editions of Newsweek and The New Yorker reached =
the streets over the weekend - each containing new revelations about =
secret, high-level decisions allegedly meant to sidestep the safeguards =
of the Geneva Conventions - a White House aide launched a pre-emptive =
strike on those insisting on answers to an important question: How far =
up the chain of command does responsibility for the Abu Ghraib prisoner =
abuse disgrace go?=20
advertisement
=20
Pre-emptive strikes come in many guises, and the one launched this =
weekend came from the pen of White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, =
targeted with precision at the Saturday Op-Ed page of The New York =
Times. The venue is important, for as anyone who ever lived on a public =
salary knows, the Saturday paper is the least read of the week and the =
marquee of choice for someone who wants to get on the record but not =
find himself on the weekday evening newscasts.
Gonzales' piece briefly notes the history of the administration's =
decision not to feel encumbered by the Geneva Conventions when dealing =
with al-Qaida, the Taliban or any others who "hide among civilian =
populations and viscously flout the core Geneva principles protecting =
the innocent." Most important, it forthrightly affirms the United =
States' responsibility to treat POWs and detainees in Iraq according to =
the Geneva Conventions.=20
"Make no mistake that the United States is bound to observe the rules of =
war in the Geneva Conventions," he writes.
>From Cuba to Baghdad?
Getting this on the record probably struck Gonzales as an excellent idea =
given the discoveries being aired almost daily regarding the Abu Ghraib =
abuses.=20
Newsweek, for instance, unearthed a previously unknown memo written by =
Gonzales from 2002 that stated: "In my judgment, this new paradigm =
renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy =
prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions requiring that =
captured enemy be afforded such things as commissary privileges, scrip =
(i.e., advances of monthly pay), athletic uniforms, and scientific =
instruments."
Gonzales makes crystal clear in his Op-Ed that his words were confined =
to the treatment of al-Qaida and its ilk. How, then, did the decision to =
deny certain rights to the men behind 9/11 extend into the American-run =
jails of postwar Iraq?=20
Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker has reported that this sidestepping of =
the Geneva Accords went hand in hand with a decision by Secretary of =
State Donald Rumsfeld to approve physical and sexual coercion for use =
against Guantanamo Bay detainees.=20
The Pentagon flatly denies this, and this part of the mystery remains =
unresolved. There remains no documentary evidence, yet, of any direct =
order from on high that Iraqi prisoners should be tortured. As Pentagon =
spokesman Larry Di Rita said in a statement Monday: "No responsible =
official of the Department of Defense approved any program that could =
conceivably have been intended to result in such abuses as witnessed in =
the recent photos and videos."=20
But did the Pentagon deliberately set vague guidelines that allowed or =
even encouraged such behavior? This, short of a document confirming =
Hersh's reporting, is the crux of the matter right now.
'Dig out' information
According to Pentagon officials who spoke to MSNBC.com on condition of =
anonymity, a very deliberate effort began last autumn to try to figure =
out why interrogators at Guantanamo Bay extracted far more useful =
intelligence from captives than those in Iraq. This effort, which came =
to involve very senior officials of the Defense Department, provided a =
bridge for the "coercive" techniques approved to handle 9/11 terrorist =
suspects to migrate from the legal limbo of Guantanamo Bay to Iraq, =
where, as Gonzales reminds us, the Geneva Conventions' jurisdiction is =
not in doubt.=20
Pentagon officials say that beginning late last year, as it became clear =
that the postwar instability was congealing into an outright =
insurrection, Rumsfeld instructed his senior Pentagon aides to find a =
way to "dig out" information and get at the insurrection's command =
structure.=20
Two top aides led the effort, the officials say: the undersecretary of =
defense for policy, Douglas Feith, and the undersecretary of defense for =
intelligence, Stephen Cambone.=20
"The idea was to get a handle on what worked in Cuba and to apply it to =
Iraq," says one of the officials. "The trend [in Iraq] was negative, and =
they wanted that reversed, and they wanted Saddam's head on a platter."=20
Cambone tasked his deputy, Lt. Gen. William Boykin, with traveling to =
Guantanamo Bay and assessing whether tactics employed there that had =
successfully produced "actionable intelligence" might be transferred to =
Iraq.=20
=20

intelligence, in an undated Army photo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-
=20
Within a few weeks, Boykin had dispatched Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the =
officer who had implemented Gonzales' "new paradigm" interrogation rules =
at Guantanamo Bay, off to Baghdad to figure out how to crack captive =
insurgents.=20
"There was a realization that the U.S. needed to be much more methodical =
about getting at the insurgent networks in Iraq," says William Arkin, an =
NBC News military analyst and intelligence specialist. "There was a =
well-known understanding that these thousands of Iraqis who were being =
detained needed to be exploited, and Boykin definitely dispatched [Maj. =
Gen. Geoffrey] Miller to figure that out. But you can't draw a straight =
line from that to what happened at Abu Ghraib."
The military has downplayed Boykin's role in all this, fearful that his =
previous 15 minutes of fame as a right-wing Christian chauvinist - he =
dubbed Muslims idol worshippers and bragged that his God is bigger than =
Islam's. His boss, Cambone, denied Boykin's role during Senate testimony =
last week. But officials say Boykin played a significant role. Already =
newspapers in the Muslim world, where he is known as "the Holy War =
general," are speculating about how a man nearly fired last year for his =
public denigration of Islam suddenly appears at the center of a scandal =
involving the abuse and humiliation of Muslim prisoners.=20
Laying down a marker
So much fog shrouds the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal that it is difficult =
at this juncture to be definitive. If there is a direct link between the =
administration's decision - publicly announced - to foreswear the Geneva =
Conventions in Guantanamo Bay and the outrages committed at Abu Ghraib, =
the link remains one of tone rather than text at this point.=20
Yet enough is known to understand why the White House counsel, by =
definition attuned to impending legal peril, might want to make his own =
role clear. With accused soldiers retaining counsel of their own, with =
the general at "battalion level" pointing upward and now documents =
suggesting a possible link to the highest levels of the Pentagon, what =
attorney would not want to consider all sides?
White House counsels have a way of being right at the center of these =
kinds of things and yet coming away relatively unscathed. They owe =
"attorney-client privilege" for some of this luck, but knowing exactly =
when to bail helps, too. In scandal after scandal in Washington, =
presidential counsels land on their feet even when their clients take a =
beating. Leonard Garment played Watergate like a Stradivarius; Bernard =
Nussbaum and Beth Nolan sailed right through Whitewater, not to mention =
Monica and Paula Jones.
Ever hear of Peter Wallison? There's a good reason. He was White House =
counsel during Iran-contra, the most expertly handled White House mess =
in modern times. Jail sentences made Oliver North and Adm. John =
Poindexter famous. But Wallison protected the throne and went back into =
a thriving private practice afterward.=20
Against all the laws of military physics, which suggest that things like =
the Abu Ghraib mess flow only downhill, the disgrace has crept steadily =
upward. It overtook the Pentagon's first line of defense, the =
non-commissioned MPs who served in the prison, almost immediately. The =
general commanding at the "battalion level" also points upward, and the =
military intelligence officers Gen. Miller suggested should set the tone =
at the prison also=20
