How did the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal become known and what was the immediate result?

The Abu Ghraib abuse scandal became know because MP Joseph Darby was collecting pictures, and wanted to have this collection because it was a part of history, and was something that you would read about in the bible or in the history books. So Joseph asked Graner if he had any pictures, and he replied with a yes answer. Graner gave him two discs, and when viewing the disc Joseph saw one disc to be of Graner and the pictures of himself he’d taken, but disc number 2 had all the pictures of the abuse that was going on. After viewing the abuse pictures, Joseph Darby would turn the discs over to Army investigators. Darby was told that what he did by turning in the disc would be in confidence and that no one would know, but that other MPs would be brought in for questioning. When the investigation started, there would be an amnesty box, and essentially the guards there were told if you have anything such as contraband, or paraphernalia to turn it in, and you won’t be face with any penalties or legal consequences. In other words everything would be forgotten. However when 60 minutes came on, two pictures were broadcasted about the abuse that was going on, and this made people in all parts of the world very angry at the situation. In my opinion suggesting that “Animal House” was going on, was not a proper term for what was really happening. We have to remember that these MPs had no previous training, and didn’t know of any stress positions, would or could occur due to being in one. In the end eleven soldiers were court-martialed and sentenced for the roles they took part in during the abuse.
