U.S. General Says Met Israeli Interrogator in Iraq

Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski has decided to reveal to the world that Israeli interrogators were involved in the questioning of detainees in Iraq:

Brigadier-General Janis Karpinski, who was responsible for military police guarding all Iraqi jails at the time prisoners were abused by U.S. troops there, told the BBC she met the Israeli at a Baghdad interrogation center.

‘He was clearly from the Middle East and he said: ‘Well, I do some of the interrogation here and of course I speak Arabic, but I’m not an Arab. I’m from Israel’,’ she said.

‘My initial reaction was to laugh because I thought maybe he was joking, and I realized he was serious,’ said Karpinski who has been suspended from her command for failings at Abu Ghraib but has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

Israeli involvement in Iraq could anger Arabs who accuse Washington of favoring the Jewish state in its conflict with the Palestinians and in wider disputes with its Arab neighbors.

Which is precisely what Karpinski knew it would do. Which gives aid and comfort to the enemy, specfically the terrorists that will use such information to recruit new terrorists to kill American soldiers and civilians. Which – in my opinion – is treason.
