"Meet the Press" this morning fairly convincingly reported that it was an execution of prisoners.

One of Saddam's core beliefs--it may be shared by a lot of Arabs residing in the ME hotspots--is that the US cannot face the loss of its own soldiers, and that we will turn tail and run at the first sight of our blood. Hence, the glaring and lurid publicity given to these deaths.

What do they know?

I'm quite upset by the video, and will be doubly upset if the reports of executions are corroborated. But I don't think I'm going to be half as pissed-off as the US soldiers in Iraq will be. I hope they can keep their cool.
