Standard Operating Procedure Page #5
cattle trucks, and just like cattle.
I mean, you come to the back door,
I mean, you hear a bang on the door
you know, bang, bang, bang, here
come the deuce and a half truck
full of scared
individuals coming to jail.
Were like,
"They come get me in middle of night.
"Mister, Mister, what, am I in trouble?
What I do? I'm not terrorist."
You know, they were like taxicab
drivers and welders and, like, bakers,
and they're at Abu Ghraib.
We had kids.
If we can't get the insurgent
leader, we took their kid.
"Akbar, I have your son.
Your son is in jail.
"Turn yourself in and
we'll let your son go."
I call that kidnapping.
It got filled up so fast
that we couldn't take
the children out anymore
and they had to stay
in their cells.
You feel bad for
them holding a child
for no reason just 'cause
of who your father was.
You can only make their stay a
little bit acceptable, I guess.
You give them all
the candy from the MREs
to make their time
go by better, I guess.
But there's only so much you
can do or so much you could feel.
HARMAN:
"The lightswent out in the prison
"so here we are
in the dark.
"I hear, 'Missus! Missus!'
I go downstairs and flash my light
"on a 16-year-old sitting
down smacking ants.
"Now these ants are Iraqi ants.
Large.
"So large they could carry the family
dog while giving you the finger.
"All the ants in the prison
came to this one boy's cell
"and decided
to take over.
"All I could do was spray Lysol.
The ants laughed at me and kept going.
"So here we were in the dark
with one small flashlight
"beating the ants
with our shoes.
"So that was the start of my shift.
"They've been stripping
the f***ed-up prisoners
"and handcuffing
them to the bars.
"I get to laugh at them
and throw corn at them.
"I kind of feel bad
for these guys
"even if they are accused
of killing U.S. soldiers.
"We degrade them but we don't
hit them, and that's a plus.
"They sleep one hour, stay up
for one hour then sleep one hour.
"This goes on for 72 hours
while we f*** with them.
"Most have been so scared
they piss on themselves.
It's sad.
"Pictures were taken,
you have to see them.
"A sandbag was put over their heads
while it was soaked in hot sauce.
"Okay, that's bad,
but these guys have info.
"We were trying to get them to talk.
That's all."
TIM DUGAN:
The big word that alwayscomes up for me is "surreal".
Everything that you saw,
everything that was going on.
A bunch of unprofessional schmucks
that didn't know their damn job.
All thrown together, mixed
up with a big-ass stick
and what you get out of it is the sh*t
you see on the news from Abu Ghraib.
It's disgusting.
