Iraq to re-open Abu Ghraib prison.

The AP reports that next month, Iraq will re-open the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, site of the egregious torture and human rights abuses conducted during the Bush administration. The new prison will hold up to 15,000 inmates and will be called “Baghdad’s Central Prison” because the name Abu Ghraib left a “bitter feeling inside Iraqis’ hearts,” deputy Justice Minister Busho Ibrahim said yesterday. Baghdad’s Central Prison has been closed since 2006.
