Ethics Paper
Abstract
During the most recent 10th Special Forces Group deployment, a few detachments were given the mission to plan the raid of a small village. The problem was, once we had detainees, where were we going to take them for interrogation and how to get this information back quickly so we could act on it. This village was a known insurgent stronghold and responsible for conducting ambushes on American convoys. We hadphotos from AI Jazera of several men in this village standing over the bodies of dead Americans. Along with the SF detachments, we had the Iraqi Special Operations Force and everyone was looking for some payback. We had 25 detainees being held for further questioning, prior to the mission being completed. One of the detainees had a sketch map of the ambush site as well as missing military gear from one of the convoys. Looking at the photos revealed that he was one of the men standing in one of the pictures from AI Jazera. He had information on the other people that we were looking for. The unit needed this information if we were going to find the other individuals that had conducted the ambushes.
