Wider Iraqi abuse shown
http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~11676~2171751,00.html


snip - A wider range of Iraqi detainee abuses by American soldiers across the Iraq war zone is chronicled in Pentagon records obtained by The Denver Post, from electric shocks to threats of execution using gun play.

Most of the assaults, many of which have been carried out by military units acting as security forces, have not led to jail penalties. Instead, the accused often received reductions in rank, docked pay and curbs on their recreational activities.

1. Curbs on their recreational activities?
"Oh no Johnnie, you got caught beating an Iraqi cab driver to death. No pinball for you! For a MONTH! Now what have you got to say? Next time, DON'T GET CAUGHT!"
