How did the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal become known and what was the immediate Result?
The heart of the news of the scandal at Abu Ghraib became known through the photographs that were taken by the 372nd Military Police Company. As the soldiers shared stories and photographs, it would be the photographs that would be the key evidence into the wrong doings of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib.
Charles Graner was one soldier that could be traced as handing a electronic disk of photographs from Abu Gharig to Darby who turned them into the Army investigators.
In the Spring of 2004, the photos would be released to the public through 60 Minutes and The New Yorker. Abu Ghraib's abuse would become public knowledge, as well, as the photographed soldiers. The detainees abuse and inhumane treatment would be the top of conversation at the morning water cooler break time for many Americans.
The Bush Administration would call their press conferences, and defer the abuse as not typical of all American soldiers; therefore, setting the blame on only a few "bad egg" soldiers.
The 372nd Battalion became the embarrassment of the US Army and would be charged for all the abuse and inhumane treatment for the Abu Ghraib Scandal.
