While it is important to differentiate this illegal situation from the legally deployed Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (they are in no way related), the argument that abu Ghraib somehow "caused" the radicalization of terrorists is absurd. As wartime atrocities go, abu Ghraib was an insignificant event until the media blew it out of proportion. This was no My Lai Massacre. It was wrong, it shouldn't have happened, but it was simply not that big a deal. The "victims" of those atrocities were far better off than had they been imprisoned under Saddam's regime. So, no, of course I do not believe abu Ghraib was responsible for the radicalization of terrorists. Islam is.
