The top U.S. commander in Iraq said yesterday that he was "greatly concerned" by a recent survey that found many troops in Iraq would not report a member of their unit for killing or injuring an innocent civilian.
Gen. David Petraeus called for a "redoubling of our education efforts" to identify potential abuses among soldiers.
"We can never sink to the level of the enemy," Petraeus said by video link from Baghdad.
"We have done that at times in theater, and it has cost us enormously" - referring to the treatment of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib facility west of Baghdad.
