The Course of the Forever Wars: Amnesia
Al Jazeera
The Take looks at how ongoing struggles for accountability at Abu Ghraib prison reveal the changes of war since 9/11.
This is the second episode of a three-part series looking at the past, present, and future of the so-called “war on terror”. Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison was once a front-page headline in the “war on terror”. Today, public knowledge of the torture that made it infamous is starting to fade – but 17 years later, one US lawsuit for its victims is still going on. It centres on private contractors: companies that became an integral part of the US military efforts post-9/11 attacks, which changed the way war is fought – and accountability is sought.More Related News
