A couple minutes of tape with a voice-over for context.

What were the tanker's orders?

Assuming the voice-over is correct, how do we know the guy who said he's a cabby, was? If a cabby, how do we know he wasn't stealing stuff, too?

Were they previously warned? No? How do we know?

If the deal was exactly as shown then its a violation of the Geneva Conventions concerning an occupying power and law enforcement. Were these soldier's charged? With what or why not?

Was the caby compensated later? I have seen film of GI's compensating Iraq's with claims out of piles of cash.

Its awful easy to get a lot of speculation from a few minutes of tape. Do you think the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" is encapsulated there?

Asuming the guys acted outside of their orders then the UCMJ has a beef with them. If they acted within orders then the beef is with their boss.

Whatever the case, dang! I sure wish I could crunch an SUV every now and then. I'd let the cabby go and look for an Expedition or Navigator.
