Does anyone know where I can find really good facts about Abu Ghraib prison?
Does anyone know where I can find really good facts about Abu Ghraib? What kind of torture techniques they used, who was in control during what period, when it was built, why it was built and other things? Anything will be helpful! If you can add a link or if you know a website please help me!
Please no wikipedia or blogs and stuff like that. They have to be FACTS so I can cite my sources.
For a 6 minute speech I have to do.
The world has little interest in the decades of torture, rape, mutilation, beheading and mass killing of innocents at Abu Ghraib prison under Saddam.
Instead, the world is (or pretends to be) horrified by the abuse and humiliation of prisoners at Abu Ghraib by some undisciplined US troops after liberation (who were severely punished).
Abu Ghraib is a clear example of the world focusing on minor crimes by democracies rather than major crimes by tyrannies. Psychologically, it seems easier for people to do this. This is the law of human nature that The most criticised societies are the best ones.
