Gen. Doug Stone. For the past year, he has been running the American detention facilities of Camp Cropper, and Camp Bucca in southern Iraq. Before he came here, the detention facilities had become an insurgent training ground. "Without exception, the reports that came out during those days that said that this was a, quote — their words not mine — 'Jihadist University' were accurate," Stone says. That means al-Qaida leaders were organizing in this prison, teaching bomb-making skills, holding court and handing out harsh punishments, like eye gouging, Stone says.
