Abstract :When the world met with what was really going on in Iraq through the public  disclosure of the Abu Ghraib incident in the mass media, in one of my second  year courses, despite the common abhorrence, most of the students agreed that  the torturers were personally not responsible for the violence since they were  doing their jobs, acting professionally, obeying the commands of the authorities.  In fact, what was going on Iraq had already been apparent and functioning long  before the US attack on the country, in alliance with Britain.
