The abuse was kept hidden by the U.S. military until photographs of the victims and their smiling tormentors were released to a stunned American public. Several investigations into the scandal were launched. Their assessment of the "brutality and purposeless sadism" at Abu Ghraib is shocking.The Abu Ghraib Investigationsreveals the awful truth about what happened at Abu Ghraib, who is responsible, and what can be done about it.
