Summary/Abstract: Linfield analyses photographs from Abu Ghraib in terms of the event that impacted our understanding not only of the current war against terror but also of the power of the photograph. She starts off by asking what photographs of torture can really reveal, going on to examine their impact and then relating this question to problems of representability, visibility and ethical impact.
