This is potentially prisoner abuse, but it may not be. We do not have firsthand knowledge of the scene. Who is to say how the man that is bleeding from the head sustained that injury? Maybe he was captured then hit in the head or perhaps he was hit in the head with grenade fragments or grazed by a bullet while fighting. Putting a bag on a prisoner's head doesn't automatically mean torture, even though the Abu Girhab incident featured bags over heads. And the mugging for the camera is simply that, mugging. The jury is still out, but perhaps time will tell.
