Sergeant Lacey


Sergeant Lacey was a military interrogator at the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.
Only her rank and last name have been made public.
Lacey was named in FBI reports to the Department of Defense, alleging that she had been observed inflicting abuse on her interrogation subjects.
CNN reports that Thomas Harrington, Deputy Assistant Director for Counterterrorism at the FBI wrote a follow-up letter to Major General Donald Ryder, while he was conducting an investigation into allegations of detainee abuse.
CNN reported that Harrington recorded:
CNN reported that Harrington recorded that when the FBI agent asked the Marine what had happened during the time Lacey had his view blocked:
Harrington's memo highlighted four examples of abuse. Three of these incidents occurred while Geoffrey Miller had overall authority over the detainees. All of those alleged to have committed the abuse have moved on to other assignments
Lieutenant Colonel Gerard Healy told CNN, on December 8, 2004, that Sergeant Lacey's conduct was under investigation.
The Department of Defense assured the public that the results of investigations into these incidents would be made public, once they were completed. As of February 18, 2007, no results have been made public.
In his 2007 book, Guantanamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power, Joseph Margulies wrote that the ACLU had been given unredacted version of the memo that spelled out Lacey's full name. He concluded that, while the kind of abuse Lacey dished out was rarely described to the public, it was in fact extremely common.
