As a journalist, I am constantly reminded of it by Iraqis I meet-whether in the high offices of the Green Zone or in the streets of Baghdad. 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.
