- Summary:
- In 2004 the photos of Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse appeared on "60 Minutes" to national and international scandal. Less than two months later Susan Burke, a Philadelphia attorney, filed a landmark lawsuit on behalf of the detainees presenting a case against two private contractors, CACI International and Titan Inc., purporting that the companies worked together to torture and kill detainees. Following Burke' s lawsuit through the courts and drawing on interviews with current and former military personnel, "Monstering" examines the many underreported, under-investigated crimes of Abu Ghraib.
