Rules of Engagement 1 - Adam Kokesh part 01

part 02 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUIfmXwhJCQ
Adam Kokesh did not agree with the war, but he volunteered to serve in Iraq to "do the right thing" and "clean up our mess." He was in Fallujah shortly after the four Blackwater contractors were killed. In that city, the rules of engagement were always changing.
During the siege of Fallujah, fires broke out and Iraqi firefighters and police raced to the scene. US forces saw their silhouettes in the area from which they had taken fire and started shooting. Miscommunication was often the cause of scenes like this.
Kokesh's unit was told Al Zarqawi was fleeing the city in a Black Opal and to stop all black Opals . . . black Opals were everywhere in Iraq.
He testifies that all the detainees, guilty or innocent, get treated the same, which leads more and more "innocent" ones to join the insurgency.
