I'm trying to find the article on the hooded gi's doing in unarmed protestors in Iraq. This is not a exact match to what you're seeking, but it is what I recall seeing in the literature: Message 19604996 Robert Fisk wrote in the Independent UK: "A disturbing new phenomenon in this environment of growing military violence has been the appearance of hooded and masked gunmen - working for the Americans - on road checkpoints north of Baghdad. Five of them now check cars on the Tigris river bridge outside Samarra, apparently fearing their identities will be discovered if their faces are not concealed. They wear militia uniforms and, although they say they are part of the new American-backed "Iraqi Civil Defence Corps", they have neither badges of rank nor unit markings. The same hooded men are now appearing on the streets of Baghdad."
