Can you explain to me how that wikileaks diplomatic cable from 2006 implicates CIA and other US personnel partaking in the abuse?

The Cable itself most directly outs Iraqi forces involvement in the torture, but who trained and supervised these Iraqi forces and where exactly was "Site 4"?

We don't know exactly who runs "Site 4" or what it is, however the US military did run a high value blacksite in Baghdad (same city) known as Camp Cropper. This is where Hussein was held and a number of detainees died. This complex could very well fit the profile for "Site 4": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Cropper

In addition, the police and corrections officers of Iraq, particularly Camp Cropper, were trained and supervised at this time by US security contractor DynCorp: https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/dyncorp-iraq

My, and certainly some notable journalists', assertion is that US officials somewhere along the line would have had to have known and/or been complicit in the actions taken at "Site 4", wherever that may actually be.
