Abu Ghraib - a history of violence, now reopened, renamed
So, the Iraqis have now reopened Abu Ghraib, the prison many call the worst prison on Earth.
The NY Times has an article showing small articles from war correspondents as far back as 1978, with some pictures and interesting stories. It follows the events from before the Iraqi invasion, up to the disgrace that was the Iraqi occupation by the US military and its use of torture in that prison.
In one of the stories, the reporter, after taking several pictures of inmates, was asked for his camera and his film. He managed to “negotiate” with the prison guard, and gave him the camera’s battery instead, pretending it was the camera’s film.
