*"We would ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head." Testimony from a former U.S. Army Ranger *--Jessie Macbeth, a Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran, Tells All 21 May 2006 Excerpt: "When we were doing the night raids in the houses, we would pull people out and have them all on their knees and zip-tied. We would ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep going, this was our interrogation. He could be innocent. He could be just an average Joe trying to support his family. If he didn't give us a satisfactory answer, we'd start killing off his family until he told us something. If he didn't know anything, I guess he was SOL." (Pepperspray Productions video)
