The abuse was kept hidden by the U.S. military until photographs of the victims and their smiling tormentors were released to a stunned American public. Several investigations into the scandal were launched. Their assessment of the \"brutality and purposeless sadism\" at Abu Ghraib is shocking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Abu Ghraib Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the awful truth about what happened at Abu Ghraib, who is responsible, and what can be done about it.
