So with weapons drawn, a dozen U.S. soldiers charged down the ramps of their armored Stryker vehicles, roughly yanked three Iraqi students out of a car by their necks and shoved their faces into a nearby wall.
"What's your name? Where are you going? Don't lie to me!" Lt. Col. Erik Kurilla shouted at the first teenager.
"To my house to study," the trembling young man answered. "We have exams next week."
Kurilla questioned each of the young men separately, twisting their shirt collars around their throats throughout each interrogation. But the students soon were deemed harmless; everyone had a current university ID and told the same story.
