Washington Post (via Buffalo News) reports Dogs used to frighten teenagers at Abu Ghraib:
...the new report according to Pentagon sources will show that MPs were using their animals to make juveniles - as young as 15 years old - urinate on themselves as part of a competition.

"There were two MP dog handlers who did use dogs to threaten kids detained at Abu Ghraib," said one Army officer familiar with the report, one of two investigations on detainee abuse scheduled to be released this week. "It has nothing to do with interrogation. It was just them on their own being weird."

...military intelligence soldiers kept multiple detainees off the record books and hid them from international humanitarian organizations....


Also check out the notable nugget at the bottom of the page: A military judge in the alleged prisoner abuse case demanded that prosecutors speed up the investigation. Judge James Pohl warned that further delays could derail the case against at least one of the accused soldiers and expressed displeasure after being told a lone Army criminal investigator was reviewing thousands of pages of records contained in a secret computer server at Abu Ghraib.
