More Iraqi Prisoner Abuse: Mock Executions of Juveniles
Can it get any worse? Documents obtained by the ACLU show that U.S. Marines conducted mock executions of juveniles in Iraq:
Marines in Iraq conducted mock executions of juvenile prisoners last year, burned and tortured other detainees with electrical shocks, and warned a Navy medic they would kill him if he treated any injured Iraqis, according to military documents made public Tuesday.
The latest revelations of prisoner abuse, obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union in a lawsuit against the government, involved previously unknown incidents in which 11 Marines were punished for abusing detainees.
"A few bad apples" gets less credible every day. The Pentagon needs to be held accountable for this disgrace.
