Your recall of the event, as evidenced by your statement above, is not in line with the facts My recollection of the facts is not in line with your recollection of the facts. My recollection of the facts is that reports of abuses at Abu Ghraib began to surface in 2003, but were not taken seriously until January 2004, when one of the participants put together a CD-ROM of photographs of the abuses. Unlike My Lai, which took place over the space of a day, the events at Abu Ghraib took place over a three month period. While the events at Abu Ghraib are particularly egregious, there have been plenty of human rights abuses during these wars. Human Rights Watch has collected an assortment of reports. humanrightsfirst.org So has Amnesty International. web.amnesty.org Salon did some excellent investigative reporting on Abu Ghraib: salon.com Salon on Abu Ghraib and prisoner abuse and torture elsewhere, committed by people you and I pay the salaries of. salon.com
