Under the hood: You might not recognize this man because last time you saw him he was wearing a hood in those infamous photos from Abu Ghraib prison. Last night Haj Ali, a former mayor of the Al Madifai district, near Baghdad, gave his first in-depth interview on NOW. "Abu Ghraib is a breeding ground for insurgents," he says. "99% of the people brought in are innocent, but with all the insults and torture, it makes them ready to do just about anything." Ali's crime is that he was a Baathist party member, a requirement for any elected official at the time. When he was released by the US, he received no apology: "They just said you were arrested by mistake... and they put a hood over my head. Then they put us in a truck with about 30- 40 other people. And they just pushed me off the truck." America's response to the abuse? The top five generals who oversaw prison policy were exonerated of any wrongdoing, while peons like Lyndie England are taking the fall. Is this the kind of justice we're modelling for Iraq's "fledgling democracy"?
