U.S. General: Prisoners Should be Treated ‘Like Dogs’

HeadlineJun 15, 2004

And Brigadier-General Janis Karpinski, the U.S. General who was in charge of Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, has told the BBC she was being made a scapegoat for the abuse of detainees. She said her successor, Major-General Geoffrey Miller once said that prisoners should be treated “like dogs.” Miller went on to say “if you allow them to believe at any point that they are more than a dog then you’ve lost control of them.” Miller is also the general who recommended the use of dogs during interrogations at Abu Ghraib.
