An atrocity (from the Latin atrox, "atrocious", from Latin ater = "matte fl" (as distinct from niger = "shiny fl")) is a term used to describe crimes ranging from an act committed against a single person to one committed against a population or ethnic group.

 The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross - an infinity plus review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Like much of his fiction it suffers somewhat from a tendency to lose itself (and readers) in long expository passages, but here this quirk is kept under better control and only interferes with the concluding chapters, where the exposition rolls out torrentially, the author barely able to contain himself any longer.
Stross seductively creates an entire secret history of international intelligence agencies working to keep the other levels of reality from spilling out into everyday life -- or using their knowledge for the advantage of their government.
The sequel, "The Concrete Jungle", much more laden down by exposition, lacks the emotional urgency that makes "The Atrocity Archive" so involving but is still worth reading for the playful inventiveness of its ideas.

 Conditions of Atrocity
Recognizing that atrocity is a group activity, one must ask how individual soldiers can so readily join in.

To attribute the scandal at Abu Ghraib to "a few bad apples" or to "individual failures" is poor psychology and self-serving pseudomorality.
