"God is on America's side in the war on terrorism, President [George W.] Bush has repeatedly said--and not because of who we are but because of what we believe and how we behave. But around the world, the moral call by the commander-in-chief is being contrasted this week [May 10, 2004] with photos and reports of abuse of Iraqi prisoners by Americans. And tough questions are being raised about the disconnect between the moral rhetoric and the immoral result, at least in this one prison." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article examines possible reasons for a moral breakdown that led to abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers.
