Taguba Report

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Taguba Report is the common name of an official Article 15-6 military inquiry conducted in 2004. Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the senior officer in Iraq, appointed Major General Antonio Taguba to open an Article 15-6 inquiry into the conduct of the 800th Military Police Brigade.[1][2]

According to the report the inquiry was initiated because:

"LTG Sanchez requested an investigation of detention and internment operations by the Brigade from 1 November 2003 to present. LTG Sanchez cited recent reports of detainee abuse, escapes from confinement facilities, and accountability lapses, which indicated systemic problems within the brigade and suggested a lack of clear standards, proficiency, and leadership."

The report highlighted problems at Abu Ghraib prison, and other locations, which, if they had been dealt with expeditiously, would have prevented the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse from occurring.
