the American-run Abu Ghraib Prison in Baghdad, he became the 17th
journalist to die in Iraq.

Soldiers ejected over Iraq abuses
5 January 2004
Three soldiers have been discharged from the US army for "mistreating "
Iraqi prisoners of war last May. They were found guilty of beating and
harassing detainees at a detention camp in the south of the country.
They had all faced possible courts-martial and could have been sentenced
to 25 years in jail for the offences.
Each was allowed instead to opt for a hearing without a jury, which
cannot impose prison sentences.
The three soldiers, a woman and two men have all returned to the US.

US troops act like Gestapo
2 September 2003
Our troops are swaggering about the desert like Gestapo thugs, robbing
locals of their cash, kicking down doors, roughing up women (a no-no
under Islam) and brown-bagging innocent men's heads before dragging
them off screaming into the night. Partly because they don't speak
Arabic or understand Islamic culture, jumpy US soldiers are killing
so many Iraqi civilians that the Pentagon is deliberately not keeping
a count of accidental casualties.
