New Government Documents Shed Light on Abuses at U.S. Detention Facilities
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBW9PHML0E.html

The New York-based group received 6,000 pages of documents, one of which said that because of an "atmosphere of danger, promiscuity and negativity, the worst human qualities and behaviors came to the fore and a pervasive dominance came to prevail, especially at Abu Ghraib."
