Nineteen Iraqi army corpses found in Baiji (not Haditha stadium massacre)

This is apparently a new incident, distinct from the soldiers/fishermen killed in Haditha).

TIKRIT - Nineteen executed Iraqi soldiers bodies, kidnapped a few days before at a rebel checkpoint, were found dumped near the oil refinery town of Baiji, north of Baghdad, Iraqi police said.

“Police found 19 dead Iraqi soldiers in Baiji. They were taken hostage three or four days ago. They were found in a deserted place between Asainiya and Baiji, with bullet holes to the head and stomach,” said Captain Saad Nafos, police commander in Baiji.

Rebels had set up a checkpoint and shot dead two soldiers before kidnapping another 19 traveling in two to three mini-vans in the same area, Nafos said.

Baiji, home to Iraq’s largest refinery, 200 kilometres north of Baghdad, has been identified by the US military and Iraqi officials as having a strong insurgency presence.

The discovery of the corpses follows the finding of 19 Iraqi soldiers executed bodies found in Haditha in western Iraq on Wednesday.

At this rate, there's not going to be an Iraqi army to take over.

This also doesn't shine a good light on the US training program, what are they training these men to do, die in glorious fashion?

...in the last seven days. :(
