An investigation by CNN’s Abbie Boudreau and Scott Zamost found that U.S. soldiers interrogated by the Army in the 2007 murders of four Iraqi detainees blamed a military policy they said made it too hard to detain suspected insurgents. CNN obtained 23½ hours of Army interrogation videotapes that detail the March 2007 executions of the prisoners by three decorated sergeants. The Army had denied CNN’s request for the tapes of a confession by one of the sergeants, the network obtained those tapes and others on its own. The investigation is airing as a series on AC 360 as well as a primetime documentary.
