No
\none would question that the events that took place in Abu Ghraib in
\n2004 (Gilman & Lewis, 2005) were unethical, but when it comes to

\nultimately responsible for their own ethical behavior, institutional and
\nsituational causes provide the breeding ground for ethical breaches to

\ninsight into how the abuse of power leads to unethical decision making.<\/p>\n
