	Abu Ghraib Files - Salon.com News
		The prisoner in perhaps the most iconic photo from Abu Ghraib, the hooded man standing on a box with electrical wires attached to his hands, was being interrogated by the CID itself for his alleged role in the kidnapping and murder of two American soldiers in Iraq.
		As Walter Shapiro wrote, Abu Ghraib symbolizes "the failure of a democratic society to investigate well-documented abuses by its soldiers." The documentary record of the abuse has come out in the media in a piecemeal fashion, often lacking context or description.
		Abu Ghraib in fall 2003 may have been its own particular hell, but the variations of individual abuse perpetrated appear to be exceptional in only one way: They were photographed and filmed.

		Abu Ghraib Scandal, incidents involving acts of torture and abuse committed by United States military personnel against Iraqi prisoners held in Abu Ghraib prison, just west of Baghdād, Iraq, during the U.S.-Iraq War.
		Thus the Abu Ghraib scandal came to involve the legality, morality, and consequences of the use of “extreme interrogation techniques” on detainees during the U.S. war on terror.
		It described horrifically substandard conditions in the prison and stated that many procedures used in interrogating detainees in Abu Ghraib were “tantamount to torture.” In the words of its authors, the report was meant “to draw the attention of the Coalition Forces to a number of serious violations of International Humanitarian Law” at Abu Ghraib.
