موت بطولي لأحد جلادي أبوغريب


لندن: أوردت صحفية التايمز البريطانية تقريرا تحت عنوان موت "بطولي" لاحد جلادي ابوغريب. وتقول الصحيفة ان سانتوس كاردونا وجد ما كان يتوق اليه اخيرا، اذ قتل "بطلا"، حسب وصف وسائل الاعلام في مدينته، بعد تم تفجير سيارته. لكن الصحيفة تقول ان وسائل الاعلام المحلية تلك لم تذكر شيئا عما فعله في السجن العراقي سيء الصيت.

وكاردونا (34 عاما) هو الذي اشتهر بصورة الجندي الذي كان يمسك برباط الكلب الذي كان ينبح في سجين عراقي عار مرتعب. وتقول اسرة كاردونا ان ابنها ظل بعد عودته من العراق يحاول جاهدا ازالة تلك البقعة التي لطخت سمعته. وتقول الصحيفة انه في سياق تطهير نفسه من احداث ابوغريب عمل مقاولا مع الحكومة الامريكية في افغانستان بعد ادانته وخروجه من الخدمة العسكرية، مهمته البحث عن الالغام والاسلحة، لكنه قتل في حادث تفجير هو وكلبه الذي كان معه في الصورة.

A hero’s death redeems Abu Ghraib tormentor
Sarah Baxter in Washington

AT the end of his life Santos Cardona received the affirmation he had craved. He died a “hero”, according to his hometown media, after being blown up by a bomb.

There was no mention of his previous notoriety.

Cardona, 34, was better known as the dog handler in a photograph showing an Iraqi prisoner cowering naked at Abu Ghraib prison in front of a snarling dog. His family said he had spent the rest of his life trying to erase the stain.

His quest for redemption led him to sign up as a government contractor in Afghanistan, where he worked with a sniffer dog, searching for explosive devices and weapons. His dog Zomie died with him when his military convoy hit a roadside bomb.

Cardona, an army sergeant, was convicted of assault in 2006 and sentenced to 90 days’ hard labour and a reduction in his rank for his conduct at Abu Ghraib. He was acquitted of more serious charges after the court upheld he was following the orders of senior officers.

At the height of the insurgency that year, Cardona tried to return to Iraq. “He wanted to prove that he had nothing to hide,” said Steven Acevedo, his uncle.

“He very much believed that his job was important, but he was resentful that his president and that his government had turned their back on him and tried to use him as a scapegoat.”

There was an uproar when news broke that Cardona was on his way back.

“It represents appallingly bad judgment,” said retired general Barry McCaffrey. “The symbolic message perceived in Iraq will likely be that the US is simply insensitive to the abuse of their prisoners.” The deployment was halted and Cardona returned to work at the army’s dog kennels in North Carolina. A year later, he received an honourable discharge, but he remained haunted by Abu Ghraib.

After selling motorcycles and working for a security firm, he was offered work last November in Afghanistan.

Heather Ashby, 36, his girlfriend of 11 years and mother of Keelyn, his nine-year-old daughter, said: “I know that the accusations and the trial tore him up. Emotionally it was a huge drain on him.

“I don’t think he ever wanted to be remembered like that, and I know he was angry that people who were giving orders didn’t pay a price.”

She is now devastated. “I don’t think I’ve ever sobbed like I did at the moment.”

There had been a series of roadside bombs in the area. “They wanted him to go out with his dog,” Ashby said. “The explosion split the Humvee he was in and it landed on top of him. He was killed instantly.”

Cardona had been worried about going back to war, but needed the money and the sense of purpose it provided. “Every person I knew begged him not to go,” she said.

Michael Yon, a writer who has been embedded with the US army in Afghanistan, noted on his blog after Cardona’s death: “The ghosts of prisoner abuse haunted everyone.”

Intelligence officials who participated in interrogation programmes under George W Bush’s administration fear they will be singled out next. It was revealed last week that the CIA had destroyed 92 video-tapes that might have shown the ill-treatment of high-level detainees.

The Senate intelligence committee announced that it would investigate the Bush detention programme, much to the consternation of CIA officers who say their actions were approved by the White House.

Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, has called for a truth commission to investigate the conduct of the war on terror, including wiretapping and the treatment of detainees.

Paul Pillar, a former senior CIA officer, said staff would feel scapegoated “while those who made those policies are busy writing their memoirs”.

Others say senior Democrats in Congress knew all along about the harsh interrogation techniques. “The leadership was fully briefed and there was no objection at the time,” said Henry Crumpton, who headed the CIA in Afghanistan after the September 11 terrorist attacks of 2001.

For Cardona, the prisoner abuse scandal has finally been laid to rest.

As for Duco, the belgian malinois dog shown in the Abu Ghraib photographs, he was adopted by Cardona and now lives with Ashby and Keelyn in Florida.
