Eleven Troops Charged With Abuse By Rob on War On Terror Say Anything <<< BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eleven U.S. soldiers have been charged with assaulting detainees in Iraq, the military said Saturday, while three British soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in a rare attack in the relatively stable southern part of the country. . . . The U.S. military said in a statement that the charges against the 11 troops, who served in the Baghdad area but were not otherwise identified, were filed Wednesday after another soldier complained about the alleged assaults. “None of the insurgents required medical treatment for injuries related to the alleged assault,” the statement added. “Only one of the suspected terrorists remains in custody of coalition forces at this time.” The soldiers had been assigned to the Army’s Task Force Baghdad but were taken off-duty pending the investigation, the military said, adding that the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division would determine whether they should face trial by court-martial. “Allegations of illegal activities will always be thoroughly investigated,” said Lt. Col. Clifford Kent, a Task Force Baghdad spokesman. >>>> It sounds like the abuses were relatively minor. But still, an investigation is warranted and neccessary. America’s troops are not like the ruthless thugs employed by Saddam Hussein and the like to achieve their nefarious goals. When our troops do wrong they are held accountable for it. feeds.feedburner.com news.yahoo.com
