I OP W failed to disobey a meritless order, I failed to protect a prisoner in my custody, and I failed to uphold the standards of human decency. Instead, I intimidated, degraded and humiliated a man who could not defend himself. I compromised my values. I will never forgive myself Those words, published in an op-ed in last Friday's Washington Post under the headline "An Iraq Interrogator's Nightmare," were written by Eric Fair, a civilian interrogator assigned to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne Division in 2004. Though the story of abuse perpetrated by Americans on Iraqi prisoners is well- known to anyone who has cared to *now it, Fair's words are still astonishing — for the misdeeds that they reveal, and for the courage they took to write. As Fair makes clear, the abuse of prisoners in Iraq was not limited to Abu Ghraib Though he never uses the word "torture," Fair writes that mistreatment of Iraqis by U.S. forces, including physical abuse, was widespread. That abuse was not the doing of rogue guards or interrogators but official policy, sanctioned as a way to gain intelligence in the fight against the insurgency — but the continuing difficulties we face in the war show how little it yielded. Fair's op-ed reveals in heartbreaking detail how abuse corrupts the perpetrator — though he deprived a prisoner of sleep while deployed to a detention facili- ty in Fallujah, it is now he who can not sleep at night. But it also reveals how widespread prisoner abuse undermined whatever moral purpose there was to the war effort.
