I did a piece where I was talking about torture at Abu Ghraib, and I embroidered my hand with the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoners who'd been tortured using a needle and thread. I know that meeting a Holocaust survivor when I was eight and seeing the tattoo on her arm from her time in the camps influenced my piece about Abu Ghraib.

Jill Soloway

I was ordered not to go out to Abu Ghraib after dark early on, because Abu Ghraib was extremely dangerous.

Janis Karpinski

Regrettably, it has become clear that torture of detainees in United States custody is not limited to Abu Ghraib or even Iraq. Since Abu Ghraib, there have been increasing reports of torture.

Marty Meehan

Whether or not Americans supported George W. Bush, they could not avoid learning about Abu Ghraib.

Rebecca MacKinnon

Whether we consider Nazi Germany or Abu Ghraib prison, there were many people who observed what was happening and said nothing. At Abu Ghraib, one photo shows two soldiers smiling before a pyramid of naked prisoners while a dozen other soldiers stand around watching passively. If you observe such abuses and don't say, "This is wrong! Stop it!" you give tacit approval to continue. You are part of the silent majority that makes evil deeds more acceptable.

Philip Zimbardo

The Bush administration opened several lines of attack against the rule of law and the integrity of an independent Justice Department. The scandals are so famous that they've been reduced to shorthand: Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, NSA, Attorneygate.

Ari Melber

What makes Bush different from Hitler? He commits crimes in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons. With all these crimes, they still behave like bullying claimants. They get angry once they see an independant nation.

Ali Khamenei

If there was one fact that sent me hurtling off to write 'Politics Lost,' it was when I learned that John Kerry had focus-grouped Abu Ghraib. We knew about the Justice Department memo in June of 2004, and Kerry didn't raise that in any one of his three debates with George Bush.

Joe Klein

One might oppose the CIA program, but Abu Ghraib it ain't.

Michael Hayden

It seems nothing good comes out of Abu Ghraib.

Richard Engel

Abu Ghraib, as bad as it was, can't be compared to what Saddam was doing to people.

Bruce Cockburn

I don't know anyone at the highest levels who approved Abu Ghraib. If President Barack Obama for a moment thought that somebody at a high level had approved it, he would go after them.

Peter T. King

American journalists and politicians made a perfect spectacle of themselves in discussing the Abu Ghraib prison controversy.

Tony Snow

In November, they transferred control of Abu Ghraib to the military intelligence command completely; it was, after all, the center for interrogations for Iraq.

Janis Karpinski

The vast majority of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, even after interrogation, had no further intel value whatsoever.

Janis Karpinski

The Navy has a custom-if a ship runs aground, the captain is relieved regardless of who is responsible. That's how Abu Ghraib should be handled.
