Video: Iraqi troops beat captives as U.S. trainers cheer

Two British TV journalists embedded with the US Army’s First Cavalry division in Baghdad witnessed Iraqi army soldiers viciously batter helpless Sunni men while Americans cheered them on. After learning they had filmed the extensive affair, the Americans threatened the journalists, held them under armed guard and attempted to seize their footage. Their video was saved, and it includes shocking images of abuse carried out by Shia Iraqi troops under the encouragement of the US soldiers assigned to train them in the field.
