This sworn statement by a Army major assigned to Iraq from March - November 2003. The Major, who is a NYPD officer in civilian life, states that he was nominally trained on the Rules of Engagement (ROE) and relied on his civilian training to perform his military duties. He stated "If fired upon, we can return fire but if there arc civilians in the vicinity or there is a chance of bystanders being hurt, we have to make the call." In reference to General Sanchez making the statement "why are we detaining these people. We should be killing them" the Major states he never heard that stated or attributed to General Sanchez.
