Abstract
"The Torturers and Their Public": From ancient times art has glorified warriors and war. From Goya's "The Disasters of War" to the photographs of Nazi concentration camps and Abu Ghraib, art has exhibited the slaughter and torture involved in modern wars. This essay addresses the fact that the photographs of Abu Ghraib did not undermine the policy of the Iraqi invasion nor reverse public support of the war in the United States.
