This video is the film Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, by Rory Kennedy from the USA.
From William Fisher’s blog in the USA:
Happy Anniversary, Abu Ghraib!See also here.This Tuesday, April 28, will mark five years since Americans got their first look at the sickening photographs from Abu Ghraib on “60 Minutes.”
And a month after that, on May 28, the Department of Justice, acting under a court order, will release several thousand never-before-seen-in-public photographs of U.S. prisoner abuse from Afghanistan and from elsewhere in Iraq.
The recent “torture memos” — which will inform our reaction to these new photos in a way not possible at the time of the Abu Ghraib scandal — were also released as the result of what President Obama called an unwinnable lawsuit - by the same plaintiff, the American Civil Liberties Union, and under the same law, the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA.
We don’t yet know what we’ll see in these new images. Some members of Congress, who viewed them in a classified setting, have said they are far worse than the Abu Ghraib images.
