*How do the images on p. 118 relate to current events?
In the last couple of years, the U.S. Military and government have been under attack by many for the abuses of detainees in the Middle East and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Torture and the disregard for prisoners' basic human rights have come into question from some Americans and other nations. Soldiers from Abu Ghraib Prison were arrested for their treatment of prisoners and Guantanamo Bay is still in contention of closing by President Obama. Many lawmakers contest the detention of prisoners by the U.S. Military and the way they handle interrogations. Others commend them for being able to get the answers they need to win the war. However, torture and abuse is not susposed to be present during the imprisonment faced by suspected terrorists. Just like any other system, there are always a few bad eggs.
