Iraq: Army Brutality, 8 minutes, 2007 (Ref: 532) |
| |

|
|
This is a devastating
film from Iraq that gives an acute insight into the
massive undertaking facing the "surge" - the
imminent new deployment of American troops. Not only
does our footage show the active ethnic cleansing of
both Sunnis and Shi'as daubing paint on doors to
identify people who need to be driven out but it
also shows fire-fights between ethnic groups and
worse. We see a joint patrol of US and Iraqi troops
in Baghdad, where our camera captures the brutal
treatment meted out by the newly trained Iraqi
soldiers to three suspected insurgents caught in a
car, all to the accompaniment of laughter, whoops
and egging on from the US soldiers who watch from
their humvee. We now know that the incident is
regarded as sufficiently serious for the US sergeant
who was present to be suspended pending further
investigation. |
