• A new set of pictures has emerged to trouble our consciences. It is hard to look at the photographs of Iraqi prisoners being abused, humiliated, and tortured. Such disgusting behavior demands condemnation all over the world. It is not simply against the law, the Code of Military Conduct, and various international treaties. What has occurred at Abu Ghraib Prison is a direct attack on basic human rights. It is a violation of eternal, divine, natural, and positive laws. There is something deeper than a rude disrespect in policy and practice of our military. This is an insult to human dignity. Being a prisoner does not mean being deprived by God of holy human rights.


The abuse of those in prison is also a humiliation of those who engage in such behavior. One picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures force us to look at raw reality. We must pray for the gift of peace, for the victims of war, for those who are tortured. The need to respect all human life must be acknowledged in word and deed.
