There's a book The Men who State at Goats (don't bother with the movie; they change all the names so you don't realize who they're really talking about) where it goes into Abu Ghraib. Everyone views the release of sexual torture as horrific and a leak. But that prison had people in gray or black outfits, who were not military, encouraging the photos.

It's likely the leak of the sexual abuse and torture images was intentional; a psyop to rile up insurgence and decrease stability in Iraq. Everything post-invasion was intentional to further destabilize the nation.

Just like the Snowden leaks were likely a special operation too. It was to show the US government could do anything, and no one would get angry enough to do anything about it.

Remember that no one is in prison for the 2008 banking collapse.
