10/08/2005 Archived Entry: "Two lives destroyed by Abu Ghraib"

"THE PRISONER AND THE GUARD. A Tale of Two Lives Destroyed by Abu Ghraib." One ordinary American. One ordinary Iraqi. They came together in a hellhole, and Der Spiegel tells what happened to them both.

The article is long, but worth every moment it takes to read it, even if you're sick of hearing about Abu Ghraib, "Gitmo," and all the other horrors of Bush's wars. This is about the individuals and their transformations. Very powerful stuff. A tragedy on both sides.
