  • Review of Matters Related to the August 28, 2005 Shooting of Reuters Journalists, June 4, 2008 (Redacted): “We initiated this review to address a complaint by Reuters concerning the Army investigation into the death of a Reuters journalist and injury of a second Reuters journalist on August 28, 2005, in Baghdad, Iraq. Reuters complained that the Army Regulation (AR) 15-6 “Procedures for Investigating Officers and Boards of Officers,” investigation1 improperly concluded the Army soldiers involved acted within the Rules of Engagement (ROE). Reuters based its complaint on a private investigation contracted with “The Risk Advisory Group” (TRAG) that concluded the soldiers did not comply
    with the ROE and their use of force was “prima facie unlawful.” Our review sought to determine whether the Army properly investigated the incident and reached conclusions supported by the evidence. Our review also examined whether systemic weaknesses in Army or Reuters policies and practices contributed to the incident.”
