What happened at Abu Ghraib?

 In February 2004, Major General Antonio M. Taguba completed a report about the prisoner abuses at Abu Ghraib.  The New Yorker obtained a copy of the report and published it.  General    Karpinski was admonished and suspended.  The 372nd Military Police Company and members of the American intelligence community were accused of committing criminal abuses against the inmates.

The riot of 2003 caused the guards to take out more aggression on the prisoners.  The guards became more abusive and degrading to the inmates and continued to soften the prisoners for interrogation.  Military Intelligence praised the MPs and told them to keep up the good work.  The interrogators would then take the prisoners to a cedar building and torture them behind closed doors.
