He testifies to routine degrading treatment of Iraqis. including those who worked at the base for a dollar a day, often in extreme heat and dust. Smith says the military placed a low value on Iraqi lives. One night they killed a farmer with 14 children because he was working in his field after curfew and ran when ordered to halt. In another incident, Smith recalls American soldiers coming into the base with a truck, celebrating over the corpses of insurgents who had attacked them. The bodies had been ripped apart gunfire, and one soldier gleefully displayed a decapitated head. -- Iraq Veterans Against the War http://www.IVAW.org/contact-us | [email protected] | T: 646 723 0989
