The notorious photographs depicting prisoner abuse in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison came to light four years ago this month. Picture a hooded Iraqi standing atop a box with wires attached to his fingers, and you have what has become, around the world, the defining image of American abuse of power. Many of the U.S. servicemen who participated in the photos did time in prison. But we know little of their stories, and of what really went on in Abu Ghraib. Now a new documentary called Standard Operating Procedure offers an inside account. It’s directed by acclaimed filmmaker Errol Morris, and he speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
