Summary
In April of 2004, shocking pictures from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq began to surface in the American media. The pictures depicted members of the 372nd Military Police Company engaged in acts of torture against Iraqi prisoners. Although allegations of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison began in 2003 and the US government launched a formal investigation into the matter in January of 2004, it was not until the photographs of the torture began to surface that public awareness about this situation was raised. In the aftermath of the event, high-ranking US military officials argued that they had no knowledge of what had occurred at Abu Ghraib, leaving eight low ranking army personnel to incur the wrath of an outraged public and a military court marshal.
