i need help in answering whether or not justice was served at the abu ghraib prison?
"with the sentencing of the nine soldiers associated with Abu Ghraib abuses, was justice served?" was the response to the abuses appropriate? explain why or why not.
in my opinion i feel as though justice was not served. I think the OGA’s and the MI’s should have gotten a harsher punishment because they were very much involved in all the abuses but they didn’t get punished.
When knowledge of abuses at Abu Ghraib first surfaced, the Bush administration tried to make it sound like all the abuses were done by ‘a few bad apples’. They had a few low-rank people prosecuted and tried to blame it all on them, and then to just dismiss the matter altogether.
But not too much later we found that these abuses were authorized at the highest levels of the administration, by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and GW Bush himself. And that there was a lot more abuse than we were originally told about, not just at Abu Ghirab but in various US prisons around the world.
Republican presidents in particular usually lean heavily on ‘the doctrine of plausible deniability’. Bush gave the order and then didn’t want to know what was going on, so he could later deny he knew anything about it. Ronald Reagan worked the same way with illegal stuff his own administration did. But Bush was the man in charge, and he is responsible for the abuses and illegal acts of his administration whether he knew about them or not.
A few days ago, an article was published showing that Bush KNEW several dozen men at Guantanamo Prison were innocent but kept them imprisoned because he was working up to the invasion of Iraq and didn’t want people to know how badly he’d lied and over-reacted. That also is a terrible miscarriage of justice, a genuine crime.
