By far the best article on the Abu Ghraib situation thus far:
Quote:The Abu Ghraib files
279 photographs and 19 videos from the Army's internal investigation record a harrowing three months of detainee abuse inside the notorious prison -- and make clear that many of those responsible have yet to be held accountable.
Editor's note: The 10 galleries of photo and video evidence appear chronologically in the left column, followed by an additional Salon report on prosecutions for abuse and an overview of Pentagon investigations and other resources. The nine essays accompanying the photo galleries were reported and written by Michael Scherer and Mark Benjamin. Photo and video captions were compiled by Page Rockwell. Additional research, reporting and writing for "The Abu Ghraib Files" were contributed by Jeanne Carstensen, Mark Follman, Page Rockwell and Tracy Clark-Flory.

Thanks for the link JAO, I saved a few of the links for reading later.
I find the whole entire issue so shameful on so many levels. First for the administration in setting the stage for the abuses to flourish, the lack of real accountability for any of the highers ups, some of defenses of these abuses that I heard from A2kers and the lack on interest in general. I don't see how we as Americans can go around talking about human rights abuses with a straight face.
When you look at my earlier thread (some links, btw) and how many clicked here and there - ignorance really is great.
Walter, it's probably a lame defense, but I usually just come to the political section of A2k.
