The Iraqi government has closed the Abu Ghraib prison, site of the notorious U.S. abuse scandal that helped bring Bush-era torture policies to light. Iraq’s Justice Ministry says it has shuttered Abu Ghraib over fears it could be overrun by Sunni militants. This month marks the 10th anniversary of the release of photos that showed U.S. forces torturing Abu Ghraib prisoners.
