Antonio Taguba and his report, May 2004



General Antonio Taguba was tasked with conducting an investigation to as what was going on inside Abu Ghraib. Some of the things that he found were photographs of torture saying that what he saw was “unbelievable”, and even he saw e-mails to solidify that there indeed was torture going on, and not abuse as some might have seen it. Taguba was able to dig up what had been going on such as sexual humiliation, women baring their breast, and other various types of lunacy acts. Taguba did mention that though some techniques of interrogation were approved, that many others weren’t, and it was due to no training, and no one knowing what was going on, or who was in charge. After conducting this investigation harsh words and looks were given toward Antonio Taguba, because he felt that people were viewing him as a snitch, but as Taguba said “If I lie, I lose. And if I tell the truth I lose.”
