You're quite right.

There are too many other inconsistancies.

The hat the soldier is wearing was never issued to British Soldiers in Iraq.

The uniform isn't right, there are no flashes on it, the rifle has no strap or radio button. In fact that model of rifle wasn't issued to British soldiers either. The soldier is not wearing his webbing correctly which is something even the most basic recruit has drummed into them from day one basic training, and anyone incapable of wearing the uniform correctly wasn't deployed: they are still in barracks.

The vehicle seen was never sent to Iraq at all, as it can't run on fuel available in Iraq.

If the shot taken when the "soldier" strikes the "prisoner" in the groin is allegedly after several hours of horrific abuse, then why is the shirt so clean? Don't Iraqis with busted faces bleed at all? I know when anyone gets a Saturday night smack in the face, the blood gets everywhere, especially all over the front of a nice white shirt. So why does this guy still have a clean shirt, no scraped knees and no visible bruises?

I think it's staged, and I also have my doubts about the American lot, too.

I think someone is trying to make a fast buck here.
