Apparently, anyone can lose control when put in that position of power and control.
The sad state of U.S. prisons has been known for decades. So much so that the common joke when someone speaks of going to prison is about them being sodomized and degraded by fellow prisonors and guards.
This problem is not a few bad apples but is systemic. I am of the opinion that the situation in iraq is not the work of a few bad apples. First, they don't put 18 year old privates in charge of prisons. They are under orders from those who have more experience. This was not some slip up by an inexperienced soldier or two under duress.
