Abu Ghraib

There is no question that our military and the people who represent us as a nation are responsible for this torture at Abu Ghraib. You can't blame anyone else. Our society is not to blame because if that was the case then everyone would be torturing everyone when they got the chance. These people choose to do what they did and they had the choice to not agree to this mistreatment but they decided to conform to what they were expected to do. And innocent lives were lost.

Could you be more specific? Our military and the people who represent us....who are you referring? The soldiers at Abu Ghraib? President Bush? Donald Rumsfeld? Try to use some psych terms in your analysis and reference the Zimbardo video.
