The Church Report, prepared by Vice Admiral Albert Church and titled, ‘Review of Department of Defense Operations and Detainee Interrogation Techniques,’ was released on May 11, 2004. It concluded: ” ‘[N]one of the pictured abuses [from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq]…bear any resemblance to approved policies at any level, in any theater. …[N]o approved interrogation techniques at GTMO [Guantanamo] are even remotely related to the events depicted in the infamous photographs of Abu Ghraib abuses. …If an MP [Military Police] ever did receive an order to abuse a detainee in the manner depicted in any of the photographs, it should have been obvious to that MP that this was an illegal order that could not be followed. …We found, without exception, that the [Defense Department] officials and senior military commanders responsible for the formulation of interrogation policy evidenced the intent to treat detainees humanely.’ ”
