Abu Ghraib Prison Guard Scandal, the Ethical Problem

Abstract

Abu Ghraib Prison, Iraq, did the 372nd Military Police (MP) Company lack the proper training or was the unauthorized treatment of detainees tolerated? The questions create implications, but who is the implicated; the jr. enlisted, jr. non-commissioned officers (NCOs), or the sr. leadership in the organization? Was the investigated detainee abuse part of the unit's standard operating procedure (SOP) manual? Finally, what role did the Soldiers personal ethics play in the mission?
