Abu Ibrahim considers his dead friends the lucky ones. Four died in Iraq in 2005. Three more died this year, one with an explosives vest and another at the wheel of a bomb-laden truck, according to relatives and community leaders. Ibrahim, a lanky 24-year-old, was on the same mission when he left this bleak city north of Amman for Iraq last October.

The Stanford Prison experiment was similar to the Milgram Experiment. Students were chosed to be 'guards' or 'prisoners' in a fake prison. They had to cancel after few days because the guards became too brutal. In his final lecture Philip Zimbardo said abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison weren't isolated incidents, but result of government policy.

Kennedy demonstrates that the American soldiers involved in the infamous Abu Ghraib torture incidents were made to think that they were doing nothing wrong. When images of the extreme interrogation techniques leaked and the government needed a scapegoat, many of those same soldiers were then sent to prison for following orders.

When the director of the documentary 'Ghosts of Abu Ghraib' asked the soldiers themselves why they had participated in the detainee abuse, they all gave her the same answer: "I did it because I was told to do it."

When documentary film maker Rory Kennedy wanted to make a movie about why ordinary people commit extraordinary acts of evil, the images of U.S. soldiers torturing detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison kept coming back to haunt her.
