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.

    "The world knows and watches."

    As R. Schumann noted in an earlier letter, "The world knows and watches." What world

    citizens see in these images are the heinous mistreatments of human beings --sons,

    fathers, uncles, and brothers-- and they also see proof positive of a president who has

    chosen to align his legacy with that of past war criminals.


    It saddens and angers me to know that the Abu Ghraib abuse was funded partially by my tax dollars.


    Thank you, Salon, for your sensibility and bravery in publishing these images.
