11. U.S. Troops Using Excessive Force? - CBS
With ambushes and roadside bombs a daily occurrence, U.S. troops in Iraq operate under rules designed for war.

A Human Rights Watch report claims that has created "an atmosphere of impunity in which many soldiers feel they can pull the trigger without coming under review".

The 82nd Airborne in Fallujah was singled out.
