The problem here is that this isn't the same Iraq.
The government that did these things to the soldiers is long gone. Unless they are suing individuals in the Iraqi government at that time, they really don't have a lawsuit anymore.
It upsets me to say this, because of the terrible things that those soldiers endured. They deserve compensation; unfortunately, there is nobody to get it from lest they sue Saddam Hussain personally.
