An interrogator at Abu Ghraib, the prison outside of Baghdad, has been writing a Weblog for the Web site of KSTP-AM, a St. Paul, Minn., radio station, but has stopped writing it since the allegations of prisoner abuse have surfaced. Joe Ryan lives in St. Paul, works as an interrogator for CACI International Inc. and had been writing the blog since January. But the dispatches, titled “Joe Ryan Iraq Diary,” have been taken down — though you can still see the past month of entries here in this copy CyberJournalist.net made from Google’s cache.
“I’ll not be sending my diary out any more because of the allegations being spread through the media. I will keep my diary and maybe someday the truth of what is and has gone on here will surface,” Ryan wrote in an e-mail, according to Ethan McIntosh, a producer at KSTP.
