Officers staged mock executions

By John J. Lumpkin
Associated Press
<snip>

In one case, on July 13, 2003, Capt. Shawn L. Martin, of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, based in Fort Carson, Colo., took an Iraqi welder out to the desert and had him dig his own grave before staging an attempt to shoot him, according to documents. The captain was looking for information on a bombing two days before.

The welder was released. The captain also captured eight people in the vehicle and at one point fired his gun to make the seven passengers believe he had just killed the driver. He then went to the home of a man, whose identity was provided by the driver, and threatened to kill him in front of his family.

1. At least...
...he didn't do anything involving the Koran, a dud grenade, or oil for food...

Do they have runaway brides in Iraq?

Just wondering...
