What are the reasonings for the torture and executions at the Abu Ghraib prisons? Was it a work by only a few? Or does it represent a larger view of the U.S. Military or Government?

I will have to find different sources on the reasonings for the Abu Graib prison in the first place. And then maybe find interview or information fromt the soldiers about why they commited some of these acts and then overall look at the governments views.

How does American government reactions and court proceedings to the atrocities at Abu Ghraib by American soldiers reflect their views on torture and International prisons as a whole?

I would have to look at the actual cases and court procedings for soldiers and then see how the U.S. reacted.

Abu Ghraib

Abu Ghraib prison camps are located in Iraq and have come to much public attention for the vast ways of torture and possibly human rights violations. I am interested in researching about this topic because i want to learn more about the reasonings for this torture prison and the different U.S. political reasons and rights being violated.

I am still open to many different specific torture cases but am more focused in on the circumstance where torture is used and if there ever is a right time to use torture?
