ABC News: 'Dirty Brigades': US-Trained Iraqi Forces Investigated for War Crimes
U.S.-trained and armed Iraqi military units, the key to the American strategy against ISIS, are under investigation for committing some of the same atrocities as the terror group, American and Iraqi officials told ABC News. Some Iraqi units have already been cut off from U.S. assistance over "credible" human rights violations, according to a senior military official on the Pentagon's Joint Staff.
The investigation, being conducted by the Iraqi government, was launched after officials were confronted with numerous allegations of “war crimes,” based in part on dozens of ghastly videos and still photos that appear to show uniformed soldiers from some of Iraq's most elite units and militia members massacring civilians, torturing and executing prisoners, and displaying severed heads.
WNU Editor: The above ABC News video is horrifying to watch .... and I suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's no suprise. the Salvador Option was enacted in 2004,
Paramilitary and Military Death Squads don't just go away when their services are less used.
