Report: U.S. DoD Investigates YouTube Video of U.S. Troops
Greg Sandoval writes on the C|Net Media Blog:
The U.S. Department of Defense is investigating at least two video clips that appear to show American soldiers in an unfavorable light during contacts with Iraqi children, according to a report in the British newspaper, the Metro.More here.
A clip found on YouTube titled "Iraqi Kid Runs For Water" appears to show U.S. soldiers taking delight in watching children chase their truck in the hope the soldiers will make good on their offer of a water bottler.
"You want some water? Keep running," shouts a soldier, who laughs and asks, presumably whoever is taping the scene "Are you getting this?"
Another video features a soldier complaining about orders forbidding him from using deadly force against rock-throwing children.
