[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2234153, member: 12952"] Oh, you think all wars are to be fought by following the rules set down it a book. Like tab A goes into slot A . What if the enemy does not read from the a similar book? The incident in question happened in 2003 August 20 at a military base in Taji, just north of Baghdad, when West was interrogating an Iraqi policeman, who was believed to have information about a plot to assassinate West with an ambush on a U.S. convoy. In testimony at an Article 32 hearing West said the policeman, Yahya Jhrodi Hamoody, was not cooperating with interrogators, so he watched four of his soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion beat the detainee on the head and body. West said he also threatened to kill Hamoody. Military prosecutors say West followed up on that threat by taking the suspect outside, put him on the ground near a weapons clearing barrel and fired his 9 mm pistol into the barrel. Apparently not knowing where West's gun was aimed, Hamoody cracked and gave information about the planned ambush on West's convoy, thwarting the attack. West said there were no further ambushes on U.S. forces in Taji until he was relieved of his leadership post on October 4. After an [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_32_hearing']Article 32 hearing[/URL] was held , West accepted [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-judicial_punishment']non-judicial punishment[/URL], was fined $5,000, and allowed to retire as a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_colonel_%28United_States%29']lieutenant colonel.
