Abu Ghraib / Sabrina Harman

Just very... depressing.

I read it a while ago, at this point. I was honestly unsure of whether the piece was trying to humanize Harman and her unit or expose them. It felt... eerie. I'm not sure how to explain it... Just that... it's so strange to see such powerful actions transcribed to harmless words. Inter spliced with the letters Harman wrote, often justifying her actions (and her removal from the atrocities), it was just... surreal.

No highlights. Just read it.
