For those of you who can watch Canadian tv, CBC's "the fifth estate" is airing a report on Abu Ghraib tonight at 9pm.
Investigative journalism on tv. What a nice concept. Wonder if it'll ever catch on here.
Here's the description from their website at

A FEW BAD APPLES
Wednesday November 16 at 9pm on CBC-TV
They were the photos that shocked the world. Detainees in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison attacked by dogs, made to crawl on all fours while on the end of a leash, hooded with electrical wires attached to limbs. This humiliation, even torture, was carried out by their guards, members of the American military.
President Bush and his government wanted the public to believe that this was the work of just a few bad apples. But, an investigative team from the fifth estate, led by reporter Gillian Findlay, takes us inside one of these notorious images, talks to the American soldiers who were there, and finds a markedly different story.
