Originally scheduled for 2003, the exercise was put off for more than a year. An Army officer later explained to local law enforcement that many Delta Force personnel had been busy helping lay the groundwork for the March 2003 invasion of Iraq and then assisting in the operation that tracked and killed Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay. And in May 2004, NBC News reported on other Delta activities in Iraq. Citing "two top U.S. government sources," the network reported that the Pentagon's inspector general had launched an investigation of the commando unit for allegedly torturing Iraqi detainees. "Delta Force soldiers routinely drug prisoners, hold a prisoner under water until he thinks he's drowning, or smother them almost to suffocation," the network said.
