...vast political resources. Many young people, even Harvard students, still don’t believe that making a real difference in politics is possible at our age; they could not be more wrong, and students at Harvard have more opportunities to make an impact than anyone else. To cite just one example, policy regarding sex trafficking, drawn up by Harvard students at the IOP, has recently served as evidence for a bill in the state legislature in Pennsylvania, and is serving as the basis for legislation to be introduced next term in Louisiana and Tennessee...
...most Iraqis, regardless of sect or ethnicity, want the U.S. forces out. The Abu Ghraib scandal still resonates strongly among Iraqis. Those who resent the U.S. presence never tire of using it as a flogging horse. Even today, statements and videos issued by insurgent groups and jihadi organizations routinely cite Abu Ghraib as proof of the U.S.'s malign intentions in Iraq. Even America's allies in Iraq often bring up the scandal as proof of how little the U.S. understands the country.

...likely a factor in energizing Democrats on the eve of the election. Twenty-three percent of those polled said it was an ?extremely important ? element in their decision making and another 35% said it was ?very important.?

Sixty-five percent of those surveyed say they disapprove...

Those who resent the U.S. presence in Iraq never tire of using it as a flogging horse; even today, statements and videos issued by insurgent groups and jihadi organizations routinely cite Abu Ghraib, along with Haditha and Mahmoudiya, as proof of America's malign intentions in Iraq. Sgt Cardona's return "will give the insurgents another pretext for their insurgency," predicts Sadiq al-Mussawi, a political analyst. "And in this instance, many Iraqis will agree with them...
...revenge for crimes committed by the U.S. military against Muslims at the prison. Both Osama bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, use events at the prison to explain their calls for Holy War against the U.S. "Al-Qaeda and other Jihadis still cite Abu Ghraib to demonstrate what they call U.S. crimes against Muslims," notes Rita Katz, director and co-founder of the SITE Institute, who has made a study of terrorist videos and other propaganda. "Some of the videos actually feature the dogs used at Abu Ghraib...
