Abstract
Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq became infamous in 2004 for torture photographs taken there by U.S. soldiers in late 2003. The photographs provoked a sustained Strategic Political Communication (SPC) response from the U.S. administration of George W. Bush (2001–2009) to deflect public attention away from its ongoing covert policy of using torture to extract intelligence for the war on terror.
