The U.S. military yesterday began a hearing to examine charges that four U.S. Army reservists punched and kicked several Iraqi prisoners of war, breaking one man’s nose.
The beatings allegedly happening while the reservists were escorting a busload of Iraqi prisoners of war.
On the day of the beatings, one of the reservists told his commander “I think we show the prisoners too much respect.” But the U.S. commander recalled that one of the prisoners was “screaming for his life.”
