A reader wrote in to suggest we all look at The Project to Enforce the Geneva Conventions and The War Crimes Act of 1996 (pdf).

Another reader wrote, ' Has any of the major news outlets, or US politicians, noted the following points in Gen Taguba's report: 1) he refers to Military Intelligence, CIA, contract personnel, and Third Nation personnel as conducting interrogations. Who are the "Third Nation" personnel? . . . 2) The report states that Gen Geoffrey Miller, Commandant at Guantanamo, was sent to Iraq in the Fall of '03 to make recommendations on interrogations. He recommended that a Military Intell Brigade be put in overall control of Abu Ghraib prison and that the Military Police Brigade personnel act as "an enabler for interrogation." Gen Tagubu concluded that these recommendations of Gen Miller led to a lack of communication and fragmentation of responsibility. Gen Miller has now been placed in charge of ALL Iraqi detention centers/prisons. The "fox in the hen house"? '
