Camp Redemption? Abu Ghraib gets new name
:eyes:

I'll bet the Iraqis really, actually came up with that one.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Journalists have had another look at a now-infamous prison near Baghdad.

Abu Ghraib is where U.S. troops sexually humiliated and abused Iraqi prisoners in their custody. Its name has been changed to "Camp Redemption" at the suggestion of the Iraqi Governing Council.

7. It needs to be renamed Camp Vacant Lot
That thing needs to come down. The fact that it isn't is frightening in itself. What a symbol to allow to remain standing.
