| | Free Internet Press - Memo: Abu Ghraib Prisoner Abuse Continued |
| | Besides showing that the abuse of prisoners continues, the DIA memo also reveals that the soldiers already being court martialed, or tried, and sentenced in the first Abu Ghraib case did exactly what they were ordered to do by their immediate superiors and those farther up the military chain of command. | | | While these documents confirm the systemic nature of detainee abuse, it appears that the government is still withholding many more documents that shed light on which high-ranking officials are responsible for that abuse," said ACLU attorney Amrit Singh. | | | The release of these documents follows a federal court order that directed the Defense Department and other government agencies to comply with a year-old request under the Freedom of Information Act filed by the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights, Physicians for Human Rights, Veterans for Common Sense and Veterans for Peace. |

| | In the prison where I worked (and in most prisons, I suspect), there are two sets of rules. | | | Prison officials in the United States often say that the job involves "care, custody and control." In New York, where I worked as a prison guard for almost a year in the late 1990's, training focuses mainly on the final element — control — but the care and custody are in some ways more crucial. | | | Prison officers, in charge of people who are usually not nice, are bound to overstep the rules occasionally. |

| | Sam Schechner is a freelance writer in New York. | | | The notorious Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad remains in the news, as President Bush promises a "full accounting" of prisoner abuse there and The New Yorker describes another gut-wrenching series of torture photographs from its cell-blocks. | | | It's not just TV journalists getting it wrong; some non-Iraqi Arabs may also mispronounce the latter half of the prison's name as "ghrah-EEB." The name "Ghraib" is common in Arab countries, as is the use of "Abu," meaning "father of," before a name. |
