Army Specialist describes being instructed to lie about the drowning at the Samarra Bridge in Samarra Iraq: "We agreed to say that we detained the two Iraqis, released them, last seeing them standing on the side of the road;" also notes that his unit "threw another Iraqi off of a bridge before [Balad]. I was told he survived...It was common knowledge within the platoon. I think that is where they got the idea from for this incident"
