BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A former head of the U.S. Guantanamo Bay jail in Cuba has been sent to Iraq to ensure proper prison conditions, after photos apparently showed U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, the military said on Friday.

"Major General Geoffrey Miller, who was running the Guantanamo operations, is now on the ground serving as deputy manager for detention operations," Brigadier-General Mark Kimmitt, spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq, told a news conference in Baghdad.

Kimmitt said Miller would help ensure proper detention and interrogation practices in Iraq.

Controversy has also surrounded the Guantanamo camp because terror suspects have been held there with no charges or legal representation. Photos of detainees shackled and being forced to kneel in chain link cages sparked international outrage

the photographers will be treated like Yee (the muslim chaplain).

12. And many write it off as "fraternity hazing" and "pranks". "Frat" = male.

Last I heard, fraternities are not led by women.

2. we are

talking about the fox and the hen house, aren't we. Sorry, every one of the key people from the resident on down should not be in the positions they are in. what a sorry bunch...

3. Now I feel much better NOT

We will have a Brigadier who obviously failed to keep this secret, wiht a Major General who mamaged to keep thigns under wraps.

On the bright side the cronies will get a free hand.

(And for those who are sarcasm inpaired, this is dripping with it)

4. I keep waiting for a headline "Bush changes name to Hitler"

because all the real headlines are that obviously terrible

5. Junior could skip Hitler and go straight to Most Evil One.

7. or Satan's Little Helper

9. Junior likes grand titles. Perhaps "The Chosen One" is grand enough.

6. Hey, Dubya, we need someone to guard the hen house.

OK, I'll appoint the fox.

8. Isn't something along the lines of "jumping from the pan into the fire"?

It just seems to go from bad to worse under this leadership.

Every single day,...it just gets worse!!!

What does it take to unlock their doors and scream, "YOUR RULE OF FORCE APPROACH DOES NOT WORK!!!!"
