Standard Operating Procedure deleted scene
In the course of gathering material for his upcoming documentary on Abu Ghraib, Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris conducted over 200 hours of interviews with key figures. Col. Janis Karpinski, at the time of Abu Ghraib a Brigadeier General, was the commander of the prison and later in charge of Saddam Hussein once he was captured. Of course, the vast majority of material can't make the cut and this scene, while compelling, wasn't in the film when Errol Morris presented it at the 2007 New Yorker Festival.
Full-length interview with Errol Morris and Philip Gourevitch, which this clip is excerpted from: http://www.newyorker.com/online/video/festival/2007/MorrisGourevitch

Standard Operating Procedure (Remember Abu Gharib?)
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE is about a series of photographs that changed the world, changed the war, and changed America's image of itself. A hundred years from now, these photographs in all likelihood will define the war in Iraq -- in particular, three iconic photographs taken by soldiers in the 372nd MP Company -- Lynndie England posing with a prisoner on a leash; the Hooded Man standing on a box with wires attached to his fingers; and the pyramid of naked prisoners. In his new film, Errol Morris shows how the photographs served as both an expose and a cover-up. An expose, because the photographs offered us a glimpse of the horror of what was happening at Abu Ghraib; but cover-up because they seduced people into thinking what they saw was an aberration limited to a few rouge soldiers on the nightshift.
Abu Ghraib was a dangerous, disordered place. Understaffed, undersupplied, under unremitting mortar attack, but nonetheless, it was no accident that these abuses happened. The film explores the context of these photographs. The story of the photographs. Why were they taken? What was happening outside the frame? Everybody knew about the photographs but no one knew what the photographs were about. Morris' goal here was to talk to the soldiers who took the photographs and who were in the photographs -- to understand the photographs and the people who took them.
Finally, the film is about a group of young people sent to war. As such, it is a war story, a story of a cover-up, and a story of how a small group of lowly soldiers were blamed for policy decisions and a war out of control. Abu Ghraib was a world in which almost no one was trained for the tasks they were asked to perform, where everyone knew what was going on, and where no one wanted to blow the whistle. A world in which the rules were torn up, a world in which law was redefined as lawlessness. Morris says "My last film, 'The Fog of War,' was about a person that was at the apex of power, Robert McNamara. With this new one, I wanted to make a film about the people at the bottom of the pyramid, 'the little guys.' A story that I think the world needs to see and hear."

Errol Morris, Standard Operating Procedure
Get the true life story on the atrocities that occurred at Abu Gharib in the early years of the war in Iraq. Director Errol Morris tells the BlackTree TV audience what led him to creating the documentary, and what happened to those prisoners. BlackTree TV goes one on one with Director Errol Morris.
Is it possible for a photograph to change the world? Photographs taken by soldiers in
Abu Ghraib prison changed the war in Iraq and changed America's image of itself. Yet, a
central mystery remains. Did the notorious Abu Ghraib photographs constitute evidence
of systematic abuse by the American military, or were they documenting the aberrant
behavior of a few "bad apples"?
We set out to examine the context of these photographs. Why were they taken? What was
happening outside the frame? We talked directly to the soldiers who took the
photographs and who were in the photographs. Who are these people? What were they
thinking? Over two years of investigation, we amassed a million and a half words of
interview transcript, thousands of pages of unredacted reports, and hundreds of
photographs. The story of Abu Ghraib is still shrouded in moral ambiguity, but it is clear
what happened there.
The Abu Ghraib photographs serve as both an expose and a coverup. An expose,
because the photographs offer us a glimpse of the horror of Abu Ghraib; and a coverup
because they convinced journalists and readers they had seen everything, that there was
no need to look further. In recent news reports, we have learned about the destruction of
the Abu Zubaydah interrogation tapes. A coverup. It has been front page news. But the
coverup at Abu Ghraib involved thousands of prisoners and hundreds of soldiers. We
are still learning about the extent of it.
Many journalists have asked about "the smoking gun" of Abu Ghraib. It is the wrong
question. As Philip Gourevitch has commented, Abu Ghraib is the smoking gun. The
underlying question that we still have not resolved, four years after the scandal: how
could American values become so compromised that Abu Ghraib—and the subsequent
coverup—could happen?
