-W "HKrause" wrote in message ... Army Won't Prosecute 17 Soldiers In Detainee Deaths Army Says 27 Detainees Have Died While In U.S. Military Custody WASHINGTON -- Army officials will not prosecute seventeen U.S. soldiers involved in the deaths of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military investigators had recommended the soldiers be court-martialed in three prisoner deaths. Charges ranged from making false statements to murder. Instead, Army officials decided either that force was lawfully used, that soldiers didn't understand the rules for using force or there wasn't enough evidence. Eleven other Army soldiers still face murder or other charges involving the deaths of detainees in Iraq or Afghanistan. The Army Criminal Investigation Command released a report Friday detailing the cases of 27 detainees killed in custody in Iraq and Afghanistan between August 2002 and November 2004.
