...actual events at the prison. Finally, there are the ghosts - shadowy evanescent figures that are supposed to represent the unseen forces that ordered up the torments inflicted on the Abu Ghraib prisoners.

It helps to be a warrior, for one thing. It helps to be able to take a punch and deliver one - even, sometimes, a sucker punch.
