At Abu Ghraib, the evil people were the ones running it. And the evil they did lives on after them.
It's not the building; it's the evil spirits resident in the building.
If the new Iraqi government builds a new prison, they need to hold an exorcism first.
Agreed on the exorcism... pure evil had a home in that prison.
This from the left-wing Guardian about Labour Party Ann Clwyd's visiting Iraq.... http://politics.guardian.co.uk/interviews/comment/0,11660,982922,00.html

"In one of Iraq's most notorious prisons, Abu Ghraib in Baghdad, there were plastic shredders. They were a bit like an office paper shredder, except more robust, because they were designed to mince up old plastic. There, though, they were used to shred people. Just before the Americans arrived, Ms Clwyd says, the Iraqis "were executing all the remaining prisoners, and that's why nobody is found alive at any of the prisons".
But just before the war, Ms Clwyd met people in Kurdistan who had been in Abu Ghraib - "in fact they were the last people to come out alive" - and they confirmed the story. "People were either put in head first, or foot first. If you went in foot first, it took you longer."
She checked the story afterwards with someone from the prison "and they said yes, there were plastic shredders there and they were dismantled just before the military got there".
