Iraq-US Battle for Hearts and Minds

According to a Pentagon poll of US troops in Iraq, more than a third condone the use of torture 'if it saves a comrade's life', while ten per cent admit to having kicked, slapped or punched Iraqis. The report concludes that tours of duty should be shorter than six months, as those troops posted in Iraq for longer periods are more likely to suffer mental-health problems.

It seems that at least a third have already been there far too long!
