Enjoying your liberation yet boys?

A US soldier flashes the V-sign as he escorts hooded illegal vendors to a police station after being apprehended Thursday July 10, 2003 along the Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq (news - web sites). The vendors were allegedly caught selling alcohol, still prohibited to be sold outside in Muslim Iraq. (AP Photo/Mikhail Metzel)

1. I've heard of being in the bag before
But this must be some serious alcohol these guys were dealing with.

2. This is just the poorest of taste.
Not your post. This soldier's conduct.

3. Bags over their heads for selling alcohol?
Additionally, the stifling heat must make it extremely difficult to breathe with a burlap (?) bag over one's head.

In NYC, illegal vendors are usually fined, sometimes arrested, but usually fined. What sense does the bag over the head and handcuffs make?

4. HUH????
That sucks. The funny thing is, the troops probably took them back to their compound and let them set-up up alcohol stands there. Seriously, none of the troops are getting alcohol.
