Getting Closer to the Top?

Let's not forget that Miller is a crusading crackpot, sort of Like Boykin, except quieter about it.

Getting Closer to the Top?:

"In less than a month, we may finally get to hear from the army general who ordered commanders at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison to 'get dogs.'

Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, who ran the US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and then was sent to Iraq to 'Gitmo-ize' Abu Ghraib, has been silent on his role in introducing cruel and degrading interrogation techniques to that prison.
Originally, Gen. Miller invoked his military rights not to incriminate himself. But last week, a military judge ordered prosecutors to produce him on May 17 as a witness for the defense in the trial of a military dog handler accused of abusing detainees at Abu Ghraib.

Defense lawyers have said it was Miller who first told intelligence officers at Abu Ghraib to 'get dogs' to exploit Arab fears of the animals.

As reported by The Washington Post, Miller's appearance 'will give defense attorneys a chance to question Miller about the use of dogs in security and interrogation operations at Guantanamo and in Iraq. It also means lawyers could use Miller's testimony to attempt to draw connections between the alleged abuse and the policies developed by top Pentagon officials who had regular contact with Miller when he was the commander at Guantanamo.'

Witnesses in other cases have testified that Miller went to Iraq at the request of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who wanted to 'Gitmo-ize' Abu Ghraib. Tactics used on detainees in Iraq - including dogs, a dog leash and placing women's underwear on their heads - were the same as those used on one Guantanamo Bay detainee in 2002."
