Military Police Moved from Incarceration Staff & Placed Under Military Intelligence (MI)

After Maj. Gen. Miller's in visit in September 2003, the Military Police were removed from Gen. Kapinski's control and placed under the direction of Military Intelligence. This removed the MPs from the incarceration staff, and placed them in the category of interrogation staff, thus giving them the responsibility of getting the prisoners ready for military interrogators. Since the role of interrogators was subcontracted out to civilian entities, like the CIA, the members of these organizations were not subject to answering to the same moral obglations as members of the Military Police. The MPs were now ordered to torture and abuse the prisoners of Abu Ghraib.
