A former Marine guard testified yesterday that it was common practice in Iraq to kick and punch prisoners who didn't cooperate – and even some who did.
Lance Cpl. William S. Roy, granted immunity for his testimony, said guards often abused prisoners at the Camp White Horse detention center.
...[Three] Marines are facing charges arising from the death June 5 of Hatab, a ranking member of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, while he was at Camp White Horse near Nasiriyah, Iraq.
...Roy testified yesterday that he, Pittman and another Marine once beat a sheik who had resisted being taken into U.S. custody. The man had a bag over his head and his hands were tied behind his back.
