Yahoo! News - Abu Ghraib Guard's Lover 'Mocked' Prisoners:

"In the strongest defense testimony so far, Megan Ambuhl told the court-martial of Spc. Charles Graner, portrayed as the leader in the 2003 prisoner abuse scandal, that interrogators would tell the guards what to do with detainees.
................................

'They would come down with their detainees and let us know what they wanted us to do with them,' Ambuhl said, referring to military interrogators. 'They might say this guy is cooperating, not cooperating.'

In one instance, she said an intelligence interrogator asked her to watch a male detainee shower. 'They wanted me to go in the shower and point at the genital area and laugh at them,' she said.

Another time, a civilian interrogator ordered her to deal with a detainee called 'al Qaeda' because he was a suspected member of the network, said Ambuhl, who was present when a naked Iraqi prisoner was leashed and photographed.

The interrogator 'told us we were doing a good job and that breaking al Qaeda (the prisoner) would have a global impact and save a lot of lives,' she said.

CONFUSED COMMAND STRUCTURE

Ambuhl, testifying on the fifth day of the trial, said she had heard two military intelligence officers ask Graner and Pvt. Ivan Frederick, who is serving an eight-year sentence in the case, to rough up a detainee.

Witnesses have described a confused command structure at Abu Ghraib in which military police ran the prison, interacting with civilian and military interrogators and other U.S. intelligence agencies."
