Abu Ghraib Tactics Were First Used at Guantanamo

Interrogators at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 
forced a stubborn detainee to wear women's underwear on his head, 
confronted him with snarling military working dogs and attached a leash 
to his chains, according to a newly released military investigation that 
shows the tactics were employed there months before military police used 
them on detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

<>The techniques, approved by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld for 
use in interrogating Mohamed Qahtani -- the alleged "20th hijacker" in 
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- were used at Guantanamo Bay in 
late 2002 as part of a special interrogation plan aimed at breaking down 
the silent detainee.
