Meanwhile the U.S. military detained 19 of its own reservists late last week after they refused to carry out a mission of delivering fuel to a site north of Baghdad. One of the reservists left a message on her mother’s phone saying, “We had broken-down trucks, nonarmored vehicles and, we were carrying contaminated fuel. They are holding us against our will. We are now prisoners.” After the story received widespread attention the Army admitted the reservists were still using an unarmored vehicle and released the soldiers. But they could still face disciplinary charges.
