Rock, Paper & Scissors – Abu Ghraib DNA in the USA

Rock, Paper & Scissors – Abu Ghraib DNA in the USA Back in the year 2006, Americans were shocked when they were told of the horrific prison conditions inside Abu Ghraib and the torturous conduct by American soldiers to those Iraqi prisoners housed there. Then recent videos appeared on TV showing US Marines urinating on the Taliban terrorist desecrating the Muslim world in the eyes of those with a moral compass to follow. Again the world stands shocked and condemns the USA for such behavior as they scream out condemnation of this act. In the meantime, Americans ignore the Abu Ghraib DNA that exists within their own prisons inside the continental USA and Guantanamo Naval Base that houses the remainder of this Muslim war as “detainees” awaiting either trial or interrogation. American prison experts have learned many things from the Abu Ghraib incident especially how to cover up such atrocities and misconduct. American must look right next door and challenge the lack of transparency on how these prisons are operated and how human lives are put at risk using management tactics, solutions and operatives going back to the same style used inside the infamous Iraqi prison near Baghdad. When the American team selected to set up this prison came home, many of them joined private prison corporations, accepted employment as state directors of public prisons and implemented their own ‘harsh and toxic” ways to run a prison in our own neighborhoods with government consent. Since their arrival back in the USA they have lobbied fiercely and successfully convinced political leaders that their agenda was the solution to the crime wave that rocked the US in the early 90’s and millennium. Needless to say, this strategy to build a national prison industrial complex was very successful with the help of Congress and private prison owners. The harshness (rock) of these prison conditions have been well documented (paper) and although the secrecy is well kept through secret back room meetings through legislative and lobby support, those documents that reveal such dealings will never be brought to light (scissors) as they are kept or shredded like the cover-up attempted when Abu Ghraib was first discovered and reported to the world.
