American Techniques of War and Iraqi Civilians

What most alarmed me was Ken Davis recalling his experiences when he first arrived in Iraq, and asked for his superiors to tell him the Rules of Engagement. Their reaction was basically there are none, and they told him to shoot anyone who looked like the enemy. These discriminatory techniques implemented by the military is appalling. It left virtually every civilian defenseless and open targets to the military. Even though they did not have the rights like Americans to prevent from unlawful search and seizure the military used these methods to take men from their families, embarrass them, and eventually take them to Abu Ghraib for interrogation. Often times these men were just bystanders. Iraqi civilians were treated as if they had no human rights.
