Since Morris has spent the last two years interviewing not only the soldiers who took the photos but CID investigators, contract interrogators, and Abu Ghraib top brass (including former Brigadier General Janis Karpinski), I'm willing to grant him some expertise on the subject. As for the pictures being "policy," perhaps his language is unclear. What he's asking is: was this behavior officially sanctioned, or were the perpetrators just loose cannons? It's a very legitimate question--perhaps the key to the whole mess.
