Folter im Namen der FreiheitTorture in the Name of Freedom
The name of Abu Ghraib stands for the greatest scandal that has hit the US army since the Vietnam War. Who are those responsible for it and what are their motives? The US government insists that the torturers in Iraq were acting as individuals. No orders to torture were ever issued by officers and certainly not by the Department of Defense. Such claims are looking increasingly less probable. A Red Cross report on the situation in the Iraqi prison was already presented in January. However, nothing was done until the publication of the torture photographs and the ensuing global public outcry forced the Americans to act to restore their international image.
