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.

  • How sad

    It makes me so sad to see these photographs. I feel sorry for the prisoners enduring the humiliation. I don't know if any of these men were terrorists or had fought against US forces in Iraq. It doesn't matter. They are still human beings who don't desrve to be treated this way.

    I feel shame for the soldiers and my country that such things were allowed or encouraged. I only hope these photographs may someday be used in a judicial proceeding against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Gonzales. The USA is supposed to stand for the rule of law, justice and honor. In just 5 years this administration has turned us into nothing better than your average third world tyranny.

    Just as the German people were forced to visit the death camps after WW2, the American people should be forced to look at these photographs.
