did it have the same proposal as guantanamo bay (as in them being held captive as 'terrorists') or is it a whole different topic?

Its main focus encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners in an effort to generate more intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq.
A C.I.A. official said that the operation stemmed from Rumsfeld’s long-standing desire to wrest control of America’s clandestine and paramilitary operations from the C.I.A.
Guantanamo is officially a "detention center," and supposedly has stopped its illegal interrogation techniques.

Abu Ghraib was turned over to the Iraqi government over a year ago.
They now use it for the same things we did - as a prison for criminals and terrorists.
BTW - the stories about torture are Gitmo are an urban myth. I know too many people who served there.

It is a prison. They put criminals in there and suspected terrorists. Yes it is still open (that I'm aware of).
Guantanamo is a different story-- that's a detention center for enemy combatants and terrorists.
