"General Is Said To Have Urged Use of Dogs" - and Kimmitt's denial.

Now, Kimmitt is the guy who said there was "no evidence of a wedding".

"Miller never had a conversation with Colonel Pappas regarding the use of military dogs for interrogation purposes in Iraq. Further, military dogs were never used in interrogations at Guantanamo," said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq.

"Pappas's statements nonetheless provide the fullest public account to date of how he viewed the interrogation mission at Abu Ghraib and Miller's impact on operations there. Pappas said, among other things, that interrogation plans involving the use of dogs, shackling, "making detainees strip down," or similar aggressive measures followed Sanchez's policy, but were often approved by Sanchez's deputy, Maj. Gen. Walter Wojdakowski, or by Pappas himself."

Of course he didn't have that conversation with the colonel. The colonel made it up. Couldn't think of anything else to say, just sort of passing time, filling in the spaces.
