Joe Ryan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the prison interrogator. For the hockey player, see Joe Ryan (hockey).
Joe Ryan is an employee of CACI International Inc., and in early 2004 was stationed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq as an interrogator.
He kept an online diary for KSTP-AM, a St. Paul, Minnesota, radio station. The last entry was made on April 26, shortly before the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal broke in the media. Shortly after that date, the diary was removed from the radio station's website. However, a copy of the April 11-April 26 entries was retrieved from the Google cache. He had no formal interrogation training like many of the CACI International Inc. employees.
Joe Ryan was subsequently fired from CACI International Inc. for his online diary. He was also universally reviled by military members and civilian employes at Abu Ghraib prison even prior to the online diary incident.
The Ron Rosenbaum & Mark O'Connell show section on KSTP's website mentions Ryan as a friend of the show. It says, "Joe Ryan -- Frequent contributor and caller, Army linguist and security expert, now overseas as an interrogator." [1]
