![[Karpinski tried to get information, but] nobody knew anything, nobody - at least, that's what they were claiming. The Company Commander, Captain Reese, was tearful in my office and repeatedly told me he knew nothing about it, knew nothing about it, ... Captain Reese said that not only did he know about it, but he was told not to report it to his chain of command, and he was told that by Colonel Pappas. And he claimed that he saw General Sanchez out there on several occasions witnessing the torture of some of the security detainees. - Janis Karpinski Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBKYW5pcyBLYXJwaW5za2kgICAg&num=5 "[Karpinski tried to get information, but] nobody knew anything, nobody - at least, that's what they were claiming.

I thought that maybe some soldiers had taken some pictures of prisoners behind barbed wire or in their cell or something like that. I couldn't imagine anything like what I saw in those photographs. - Janis Karpinski Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBKYW5pcyBLYXJwaW5za2kgICAg&num=9 "[The first time Karpinski got any clarification about the photographs was January 23, 2004.
