http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040515/wl_mideast_afp/iraq_us_prisoners&cid=1514&ncid=1473MOSUL, Iraq (AFP) - US soldiers patrolling the mean streets of Mosul are livid the barbaric abuses committed at the Abu Ghraib prison will expose them to vicious retribution.
Most Task Force Olympia soldiers, based at one of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s glitzy former palaces in the northern city, are reluctant to talk about the abuses by their fellow soldiers.
When they do, words like "appalled" "disgusted" "shocked" and "disappointed" are on the tip of their tongue.
Above all, they fear paying the price for the crimes of a few and are furious their efforts to drive reconstruction projects will be undermined.
