“By September 14 [2003], [Senior Commander of U.S. forces in Iraq Lieutenant General Ricardo] Sanchez had put in place a new policy, modeled on Guantanamo Bay, but modified, he said, for a theater of war where the Geneva Conventions applied [Iraq]. He approved the first instance of detainee isolation on September 15, and the first instances of military interrogators removing detainees’ clothing on September 16.”
