Film Summary:
Through startling interviews with perpetrators, witnesses and victims, GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB examines and contextualizes the abuses that occurred in the fall of 2003 at the notorious Iraqi prison abuses documented in photographs that are etched in our national consciousness. The film probes the psychology of how typical American men and women came to commit these atrocious acts and, on a parallel track, explores the policy decisions that eroded our compliance with the Geneva Conventions and contributed to making the abuse a reality. Ultimately, the film asks what these events say about America, our government, our military and our human nature.

This video is pure propaganda crap. I watched the first 20 minutes and was sickened by how the producers are trying to portray the actions of the yanks as "innocent". Just the opening scene, the one about the experiment, is enough to prove how ridiculous the producers are.
"However, in his final report less than a month later, Taguba said he “suspected” that Israel, along with the interrogator with whom Israel worked most closely and the two senior Army intelligence officers at the prison, “were either directly or indirectly responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.”
Taguba recommended “immediate disciplinary action” and a second inquiry “to determine the full extent of their culpability.”
While several military police officers were court-martialed for offenses at Abu Ghraib, no intelligence officer has been court-martialed, and no charges are known to have been brought against Israel or any other private military contractor."
This is just another view of the US using torture.
Even though Bush says that he doesn't us torture.
He is lying and his administration is lying.
OSBL is just as a radical as Bush and Cheney!
