In 2004, reports were made of human rights violations, including physical abuse of detainees in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by members of the United States Army and the Central Intelligence Agency during the Iraq war. In paper 2, research the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, summarizing the facts of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal that came to light in 2004. Then assess the ethics of what occurred as follows:

· First, make a “pro” argument that the actions of the US prison guards were ethically justified, and rely on one or more of the ethical theories discussed this week to support your position.

· Then provide the counter argument, that the actions of the US prison guards were unethical and apply a different theory or theories of ethics to support that position.

· Conclude with your personal assessment of whether the actions of the US prison guards can be morally or ethically justified.
