Summary	"This is the story of three young Army snipers who were court-martialed after they and other members of their sniper team killed at least four unarmed Iraqis." Benjamin "showed that the ensuing chaos blurred the boundaries of acceptable conduct in a war zone. In fact, in three of the four killings, the soldier's actions appeared to be within the bounds of their commanders' orders and interpretation of the Law of Armed Conflict."
