finally some solutions

two years after the initial Abu Ghraib scandal, recent findings show that abuse of detainees in U.S. custody in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at Guantánamo Bay has been widespread, and that the US has only taken limited steps to investigate and punish implicated personnel. more than 600 have now been implicated in detainee abuse.
-so although the general public, including our contexts have confirmed that what these are blatant human rights violations and that they should be stopped as soon as possibly. but what no one seems to have done is to work positively and productively into putting these thoughts into action... until now that is.
the Detainee Abuse and Accountability Project (a joint project of New York University’s Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, Human Rights Watch and Human Rights First) has produced a 27 page report that presents the findings of their research. the project is the first comprehensive accounting of credible allegations of torture and abuse in U.S. custody in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo.
just thought this was worth posting because it's nice to finally here some solution oriented thinking rather than simply reporting on or complaining about such atrocities.
