Former Army interrogator Mike Ritz talking about abuse in Abu Ghraib
prison stated:
�Yes, I mean, I think what you're really looking at is a classic "Prison
Guard Syndrome."
There was an experiment in 1971 that Stanford University did in the
psychology department. They took students, half of them were made guards
in a mock prison and the other half were made prisoners.
It was supposed to take place for the period of two weeks to see what was
the psychology involved in that and within six days they cut it short,
because those students, regular college students, were already starting to
behave in a bit of a sadistic manner toward those prisoners. So they had
to end the study altogether.
This thing happens if you do not have the proper monitoring and
supervision going on. Or you don't have seasoned interrogators.  CNN
