Connection between Saddam capture and prison torture?

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/05/07/abuse.timeline.ap/index.html

October-December 2003: Many of the alleged abuses at Abu Ghraib take place during this time period.

Who were the people in the prison? They look young and fit - so they're probably military (or the Iraqi national soccer team).

Not that it excuses torture - it's just curious that the torture stopped about the time Saddam was captured.

1. Trouble surfaced 6/2003.

Amnesty Int. and the Red Cross said so. It was overshadowed by the "Glory" feeding frenzy.
Do you think Afghanistan and Gitmo are any better? It was top-down it was an official policy. Bush signed the EXE. order.
