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

Janis Karpinski

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

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 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

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

Michael Hayden

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

Bruce Cockburn

When Bush says that Abu Ghraib was the work of a few, he forgot to mention that he was one of them.

Andrew Sullivan

When those pictures of Abu Ghraib came out, I thought, my gosh, this is like the tiger cages for prisoners in Vietnam all over again. Only we were actually doing it ourselves, we weren't hiring another government to do it.

Tom Harkin

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

Rebecca MacKinnon

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

Tony Snow

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

Janis Karpinski

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 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.

Rand Beers

We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war.

John Yoo

What's happened at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is one of the grossest violations of human rights under the Geneva Conventions that we have record of. It is simply monstrous.

Carlos Fuentes

In light of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, critics are arguing that abuses of Iraqi prisoners are being produced by a climate of disregard for the laws of war.

John Yoo
