I'm familiar with it, as any Psych 101 student is. I'm just cynically amused that it takes an event like this to finally get it to hit home. There are prison abuses all the time, but Abu Ghraib has such a geopolitical impact that it can't help but be noticed. IMO though, it will be unfortunate

That's an interesting question. Forgetting for a moment just who is culpable. If people are found to be guilty either for the act or for condoning it, what would be an appropriate punishment? A friend of mine suggested a Turkish prison. We're on good terms with Turkey right now, aren't we?
